About Cala Homes

Cala Homes develops new homes in Scotland and across southern England, the Cotswolds and the West Midlands. The Edinburgh-headquartered housebuilder forms part of Cala Group, acquired by Sixth Street and Patron Capital in 2024. Architectural design and the relationship between a development and its surroundings are central to its approach, with regional teams bringing local knowledge to land and planning decisions. The group's work also includes timber-frame construction and renewable heating technologies as it develops its approach to lower-carbon housing.
