The Tron development by BUREDI, a joint project between joint venture company The Burrell Company and The EDI Group, along with Castle Rock Housing Association, was named Best Mixed-Use Development, whilst Upper Strand, a joint venture between The Burrell Company and The Places for People Group Ltd, received the award for Best Housing Project.

Upper Strand and The Tron made up two of only three Scottish entries shortlisted for the awards and beat off competition from 80 finalists in total. The developments were also the only Scottish entries in their respective categories.

The National HomeBuilder Design Awards recognise the best examples of housing design, layout and landscaping in the UK, focussing on housing that demonstrates imagination, innovation and attention to detail.

Andrew Burrell, Managing Director of The Burrell Company, said: „Both The Tron and Upper Strand have been carefully developed to contribute positively with their surroundings, whilst at the same time offering communities high quality, innovative and contemporary standards of living.

"Working together with joint venture partners has been a key factor in the success of many of our developments, including The Tron and Upper Strand as we can bring various different levels of expertise and experience to these projects.

"It is always very pleasing to have your work recognised, particularly in highly regarded awards such as the National HomeBuilder Design Awards which are judged by industry peers."

The Tron development saw the Tron area of Edinburgh's Old Town transformed through a £15m regeneration programme. Completed in four phases, the development, which was designed in part by award-winning Architect, Richard Murphy, features 60 modern apartments, office accommodation, a restaurant and purpose-built nursery. The National Homebuilders Design Award is the fifth awarded for the development.

Upper Strand development will see more than 500 quality homes built in the Granton area of Edinburgh over the next five years. Designed by architects, Reiach and Hall and Elder and Cannon, the development will provide a combination of housing for sale and affordable rent. The development forms part of the larger Waterfront Edinburgh Ltd regeneration programme which will see massive investment in the area over the next 15 years.
