Fire Damaged Hospital To Be Converted Into New Homes
Robertson Homes has revealed plans to convert a Victorian hospital in Inverness into new homes.
The Craig Dunain hospital was badly damaged by a fire in September 2007.
However, the developer has now submitted plans to the Highland Council to create 36 townhouses and 30 apartments.
It is understood the project would cost approximately £13m.
Robertson Homes said the development would generate around 100 jobs.
The first homes would be delivered on site by 2017.
John Murphy, managing director of Robertson Homes, said: "We are really pleased to submit these proposals. Built in 1864 Gleann Mor House is an historic building that was badly damaged by fire in 2007.
"The luxury homes in Gleann Mor House, with an abundance of bay windows, turrets and a raft of unique features, will offer something new in the Inverness market and will complement the modern, spacious family homes we hope to build in and around Ruihard House.
"We expect significant demand, particularly as we near completion of the West Link Road, dramatically improving road connectivity to the area."
