More than 300 new homes are to be built in Glasgow.

City Councillors have approved plans to sell three plots at a site in Tradeston, close to the Tradeston pedestrian/cycle bridge, to Drum Property Group for over £1.3 million

As well as the new homes, the regeneration scheme will provide over 900,000 sq ft of Grade A office space, with enough work space provided for 7,000 employees.


Overall, Drum will take ownership of; a cleared site of 0.42 acres, adjacent to the pedestrian/cycle bridge; a site of 0.03 acres, forming part of the public footpath and road; and a Social Work Assessment Centre of 0.258 acres, which will be relocated to Rodney Street in the city.

Work is expected to begin later this year, with completion in three years.

Cllr Kenny McLean said: "The disposal of these plots will enable a development bringing a huge amount of Grade A office space, new homes and new jobs to the city centre, as well as a contribution to the public purse. This project will mark a new chapter in the regeneration of both Tradeston and the waterfront."
