Ravenscraig is one of Europe’s largest regeneration and community creation initiatives, located in North Lanarkshire, Scotland.  This transformational project is redeveloping the former Ravenscraig steelworks site.

Led by Ravenscraig Limited—a joint venture comprising Barratt Redrow, Scottish Enterprise and Tata Steel—the project focuses on creating a self-sufficient community with high-quality housing, excellent transport links, top-tier education, and abundant employment opportunities, all surrounded by beautiful green spaces and ancient woodland.

Ravenscraig spans 1,200 acres, equivalent to the size of approximately 700 football pitches. The site is set to accommodate 4,300 homes and various community amenities, including schools and colleges, as part of its comprehensive regeneration Master Plan approved by North Lanarkshire Council in 2019.

Ravenscraig is funded through a combination of public and private investment. To date, the project has seen £250 million invested into the area. Ravenscraig Ltd reinvests all income from land sales back into the regeneration of the site. This financial model ensures that the initiative supports the ongoing transformation and development of the Ravenscraig area, contributing to the local and regional economy.

To date, Ravenscraig Ltd has contributed £4.7M to local schools, made via education contributions and has committed £200,000 per year to fund the Ravenscraig circular bus route.

Ravenscraig is home to high-quality housing, excellent transport links, top-tier education facilities, and Scotland’s newest production and logistics hub, SevenFourEight. 

The site already has a world class sports facility, brand new urban park, a college campus, a local pub restaurant, and a hotel, as well as active travel links that connect surrounding communities.

Future plans include additional housing, neighbourhood retail opportunities, industrial space and enhanced transport infrastructure.
