CCG (Scotland) has begun work on the build of 22 houses and 19 flats in Glasgow’s east end on behalf of Thenue Housing.
The £8.9 million development, located on Connal Street in Dalmarnock, will comprise two, three, and four-bedroom family homes and one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.
The ‘much-needed’ properties are being built on land which was used as an overflow car park at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Thenue chief executive, Gary Naylor, said, “We are delighted to be on site at Connal Street as we continue to deliver on our promise to tenants to keep on building new homes. We acknowledge the financial support of Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government in making our latest development happen.
“Thenue knows from our tenant feedback that continuing to build energy-efficient affordable homes is something which figures highly in our tenants’ expectations.”
CCG recently worked with Thenue on a development of 18 houses and flats in Blackhill which were completed in March this year.
David Wylie, CCG (Scotland) MD David Wylie, added, “Working with our design team partners MAST Architects and G3 Consulting Engineers, CCG are delighted to return to Dalmarnock with Connal Street. We know the area very well. The highly energy-efficient new homes will be created in our advanced manufacturing premises located just 2.5 miles away in Cambuslang whilst the site also neighbours the former Athletes’ Village, a project that we helped deliver as part of the City Legacy consortium. We fully understand the positive impact the development will have on the local community.
“We can also proudly state this positive impact will extend beyond the new homes with three new jobs, eight work placements and engagement with local schools amongst the various initiatives that will be delivered during the construction programme.”
