River Clyde Homes is to handover the first phase of new houses on the site of a former school in Port Glasgow later this year.

The new development of 224 homes at the former St Stephen's High School situated between Kilmacolm Road and Southfield Avenue comprises affordable housing for rent, as well as specialist housing for residents with additional needs, including 24 dementia friendly flats and eight wheelchair accessible flats and further retirement housing.

Allocations for properties will take place in three phases. Phase 1 of the project comprises 30 houses and 24 flats, with work set to be completed by mid-September 2021. Phase 2 and 3 will involve the construction of 170 further homes, with work expected to be concluded by July 2022.

It is one of a range of new housing projects by River Clyde Homes which are progressing despite inevitable temporary delays due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The St Stephen's site is the latest development in River Clyde Homes' ambitious plans to build much needed new homes in Inverclyde and the first of the 'RCH+' standard, where all properties will have a common design standard, across all future new build sites.

River Clyde Homes has handed already handed over homes from two developments during the Covid-19 pandemic, all thanks to the hard work and determination of our development partners Cruden Building.
