CCG is continuing work on the final stage of a major regeneration scheme in Glasgow.

The project involves building 206 new homes in the Anderston area of the city. Full completion is scheduled for 2018.

The regeneration involves replacing concrete high-rise blocks which have suffered from poor insulation and widespread damp. CCG has been working with Sanctuary Scotland on the project since 2008, with the 206 homes marking the final phase of the development.


Each new block has been developed by CCG's Off-Site Manufacturing (OSM) enhanced closed panel timber system that is delivered to site complete with factory-fitted insulation, windows and doors.

The system is erected upon a traditional masonry block in order to reach the maximum height of seven storeys and will be clad in a mix of brick and stone to compliment the building typology around the site.

The first block, on the corner of Elderslie Street and St Vincent Street, is scheduled for completion by the end of January 2017. Features include enhanced energy savings brought by the use of this system as well as solar PV, which will be installed by Arc-Tech, CCG's sister Building Services company.

In addition, new pedestrian and cycle routes will be built around the city, including new public realm space.
