As part of the redevelopment plan, Higgins will design and build 73 mixed-tenure new homes and one retail unit with new public open spaces to link the two sites.
While the Hillside site will include 51 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments in up to seven storeys in two blocks, the Milton Avenue site is expected to feature twenty two-, four-bedroom, three-storey townhouses.
At the Hillside site, a ground-level undercroft car park with 22 spaces and a landscaped podium on the first-floor level will be built, linking the two blocks.
