Cruden Celebrates Major Win at the 2025 Scottish Home Awards

Posted: 20th June 2025

Cruden is celebrating success after being recognised at the 2025 Scottish Home Awards, held at the Doubletree by Hilton, Glasgow Central on Thursday 19 June.

The five-star Scottish homebuilder was shortlisted across both the private and affordable housing categories, cementing its reputation as a leader in delivering high-quality, energy-efficient developments that meet the needs of diverse communities across Scotland.

Last night, The Avenue, Cruden’s luxury retirement development in Barnton, Edinburgh, was named Housing Development of the Year (Small, Private Sale). Designed specifically for the over-55s, The Avenue offers a high-quality mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, penthouses and villas. With its focus on style, convenience and community – including beautifully designed communal spaces and a 24-hour concierge – the development sets a new benchmark for age-exclusive living.

Fraser Lynes, Managing Director of Cruden Homes, said: “We are incredibly proud to have received this recognition at the Scottish Home Awards. This accolade is a direct reflection of the commitment, innovation, and partnership working that drives every project we undertake.”

Cruden’s award win highlights the Group’s continued dedication to building sustainable communities across Scotland and delivering high-quality developments that make a real difference to people’s lives.”
