BALLYCLARE-based Hagan Homes has started work on a mammoth £50 million project to deliver 900 new homes in Comber.

In what is the company's largest project in its 30-year history, Hagan commenced construction on the 112 acre 'Enler Village' project in January, with the first phase of 17 homes due for completion in December. The overall development is due to be handed over by June next year.

The 900 three and four-bedroom homes, to be built off the Newtownards Road in Comber have created 50 construction jobs during the first phase of the project, with further employment opportunities set to follow.

Once completed, the Enler Village development in Comber will provide for 900 homes, a business park, nursing home, sheltered accommodation, creche and retail units. Additional features include linked pedestrian facilities with Comber town centre, a decorative focal monument on Coarse Hill and extended saltmarsh.

The first phase will be on release for sale on June 1, with prices starting from £149,950.

Managing director of Hagan Homes, Jamesy Hagan said he is "absolutely delighted" to announce the company's largest ever development.

“Enler Village is a thoughtfully laid out development ensuring privacy within a setting full of charm and character. These beautifully designed three and four bedroom homes all benefit from our high quality and stylish turnkey package, including an elegant, fully fitted kitchen and modern bathroom suite, meaning you have little to do once you move in.”

“The demand for superior homes in Northern Ireland, which offer value for money, remains extremely high. Hagan Homes build affordable, quality, stylish homes and we are renowned for our attention to detail and the emphasis we place on the finer details both internally and externally," he added.

Hagan Homes’ main contractor for the Enler Village development is Co Down-based Rowallane Construction Ltd.
