A new 58-house community in Glenrothes marks the latest milestone in Fife Council's Affordable Housing Programme, delivered by main contractor Robertson Partnership Homes.
Viewfield Park continues Robertson and Fife Council’s long-standing partnership, transforming a brownfield site that had lain derelict for more than a decade into 58 high-quality, affordable and energy-efficient properties. Work commenced in 2024, with phased handover beginning in September 2025.
With the final 12 units now complete, the development has been delivered ahead of its autumn 2026 programme, allowing tenants to move in sooner and helping to address growing housing demand in the region.
The development consists of four-in-a-block flats, townhouses, and two, three and five-bedroom houses, with wheelchair-accessible and amenity bungalows also included.
It is in a prime location close to the Strollers sports centre.
Each new Council house is constructed to energy-efficient designs and solar panels to reduce running costs, and the development has also achieved the Secured by Design Gold Standard.
Councillor Judy Hamilton, Fife Council’s Housing Spokesperson, said: “Completion of these new houses at Viewfield is an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, Council housing across Fife.
“Developments like this not only provide much-needed housing for local families, but also help create strong, sustainable communities.
“We’re pleased to have worked with Robertson to bring these houses forward, and we look forward to seeing our tenants settle in and make their homes here.”
Our Affordable House-Building Programme is proud to support jobs and apprenticeships in the construction industry - and support a skilled workforce. This site alone has provided 257 jobs and six apprentices for the period of the build.
Robertsons also supported an unemployed individual into work experience and funding their CSCS card, leading to them getting a full-time job.
A strong relationship was established with the neighbouring the Glenrothes Strollers Football Club, which works with over 400 young people in the local area.
As well as donating new football kits, basketball kits and training equipment, Robertson carried out a range of community benefits delivered for the club at no cost, including rendering, cleaning, joinery and plumbing works.
Regional Managing Director Gordon Milne said: “Having successfully delivered four developments for Fife Council, we’ve seen how much of a success its Affordable Housing Programme has been across the region. We have no doubt that Viewfield Park will continue this momentum, delivering a new neighbourhood that supports the Council’s response to the housing emergency while boosting the local economy during construction and beyond.
“We’re delighted to be continuing our relationship with Fife Council through further developments in Lochgelly and Dunfermline.”
Meanwhile, councillors on Fife Council’s Cabinet Committee have also agreed plans to acquire 10 new build social rent houses and one commercial unit as part of a development planned in Cupar.
The Council will conclude legally binding agreements with Kingdom Housing Association, who are leading on the development which will consist of 23 affordable houses on the site at Inner Court.
Once complete, the Council will take ownership of 10 flats for social rent and a commercial unit for lease to the Fife Federation of Tenants and Residents Associations (FFOTRA).
