Glasgow City Council has given the green light to developer Swan Group for plans to deliver 151 new affordable riverside homes
Planning consent has been granted by Glasgow City Council to Swan Group to build 151 new affordable riverside homes in Glasgow’s east end.
Swan Group has recently concluded a contract with PfP Capital to deliver all 151 units.
The new development will provide affordable homes for people who want to live and work close to Glasgow city centre and is part of the Clyde Gateway regeneration project.
Comprising of five blocks, the Newhall Street development will provide a mix of one and two-bed flats and three of the blocks will be next to the River Clyde walkway.
Planning for the riverside homes was overseen by City Design and with four areas of general amenity space and private garden grounds for ground floor flats, residents will be part of a community with ample outdoor space for people to enjoy.
‘Integral to the future of Glasgow city’

“Not only will the 151 flats be positioned next to the River Clyde walkway, they are right next to Glasgow Green offering a traffic free route through to the heart of the city.
“We look forward to delivering more high-quality affordable homes for the workers and families who are integral to the future of Glasgow city.”
