A round up of our week – our Laurieston Living Open Day and more awards for our developments in Glasgow

Last week was an incredibly successful and productive week for Urban Union. On Thursday night, we received our first Herald Property Award, a recognition that we are incredibly proud of. This award symbolises the hard work and dedication that our team has put in over the last year and beyond, and highlights our commitment to providing the best possible service and properties for our homeowners.

Friday was another great day for us, as we opened our doors to potential buyers and leading industry professionals for our Cairns townhouse Open day at Laurieston Living.

We had an amazing turnout, with many people interested in learning more about the planned works within this latest phase of the development – set to provide a further 191 new homes in the Laurieston area.

We had a great time engaging with existing residents, members of the public and industry figures, and we look forward to meeting with them all again soon. All in all, the week was a huge success and we are delighted with the recognition we have received.

A huge honour, we are so proud of our achievement and delighted to be recognised by leaders in the industry.

We’d like to extend our gratitude to the design and Pollokshaws Living site team as we know that this award is a testament to their hard work and dedication to creating a wonderful home – that was designed to be an inviting and comfortable space for the family.

Open day for our new build townhouses

Last Friday, 29th September 2023, was an exciting day for us as we opened the doors to the first of our Phase Three homes at Laurieston Living. It marked the culmination of months of hard work and dedication from our team, who have worked tirelessly to ensure that these homes are of the highest quality and meet the highest standards. We are proud to say that we have achieved our goal and are now able to offer these homes to the public.

The Cairns townhouses feature all the modern amenities one would expect from a home of this calibre. From the spacious living areas, to the luxurious bedrooms and bathroom, each home has been carefully designed to not only look beautiful but also provide a comfortable living environment. The homes are also equipped with the latest in energy efficient appliances and systems, ensuring that each home is as energy efficient as possible.

We were delighted that on the day of the launch, many of our current residents and industry professionals stopped by to take a look at the homes and congratulate us on our achievement. It was wonderful to see the smiles on their faces and to hear their positive remarks about the homes.

We hope that these homes will bring much joy and satisfaction to those who live in them. We look forward to continuing to work hard to ensure that all of our homes meet the highest standards and provide the best possible living experience.
