The new Bonnyrigg will comprise around 2,330 new homes - 70% private and 30% community housing - all built to the same high quality standards of design and appearance.
Private and community homes will look the same from the outside.
New private housing will be sold for a range of prices - including some that will be more affordable than new housing in surrounding suburbs.
There will be a seniors' living area near the Plaza with private and community homes.
Around 20% of homes will be 'adaptable' - designed so they can be easily modified as residents get older or are less mobile.
Home design and layout will meet the needs of the diverse community.
