CCG To Deliver 42 New Homes In Pollokshaws, Glasgow
More than 40 new 'affordable' homes are being built in Pollokshaws, Glasgow.
The 42 energy efficient homes will be developed by CCG on the site of the former Shawbridge Street high-rise flats and a parade of nine shops.
Construction work on the mix of flats, supported accommodation and houses started this month and completion is scheduled to take up to one year.
CCG will deliver the new homes on behalf of Loretto Housing Association by using its closed panel timber frame system that is manufactured in the bespoke 'Off-Site Manufacturing' facility in Cambuslang.
Alastair Wylie, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CCG, said: "The Shawbridge Street project is one of many live examples of how CCG and Wheatley Group are working together to deliver on affordable housing targets across central Scotland.
"To provide homes that are more energy efficient is a key priority in this regard and CCG are pioneering this approach through sustainable construction methods.
"The use of our closed panel timber system will also reduce the impact of development on the densely populated area with a much faster speed of build than by traditional methods. This, met with our expert construction experience, will ensure a swift delivery whilst ensuring quality as we begin the installation of the superstructure in early-2018."
