CCG has completed work on the £10 million build of Partick Housing Association’s (PHA) 46-home development on Bearsden Road in Anniesland.
Members of Glasgow City Council made a visit this week as the new development, designed by MAST Architects, was officially handed over by the contractors to the housing association.
Described as a ‘major boost’ for affordable new housing in the west of the city, the development includes a mix of one and two-bedroom flats and a mix of social rented and mid-market rent homes.
Comprising two blocks of flats reaching five storeys, PHA said the development offers a renewed sense of frontage to Bearsden Road and Crow Road as well as an ‘iconic’ gateway to Anniesland.
Furthermore, it includes resident parking and outdoor amenity space complete with public art, while also creating a new pedestrian and cycle path next to the vibrant Forth & Clyde Canal.
CCG MD, David Wylie, said, “CCG is delighted with the development at Bearsden Road. The complete project represents six years of hard work; from acquisition to concept, design and delivery, the process has been led by CCG in partnership with Partick Housing Association alongside MAST Architects. It shows how collaboration and partnership working can unlock challenging sites to deliver much-needed affordable housing and the results speak for themselves as it is a great addition to this buoyant west end community.”
Councillor Kenny McLean, convener for housing at Glasgow City Council, said, “It’s great to see this fantastic development reach completion. These social and mid–market-rent flats in Anniesland, will meet the needs of a range of people and bring new life to this site beside the canal. These are much-needed homes in this part of the city, and the council was delighted to support this development, which I’m sure will be a great place to live.”
Partick Housing Association’s chair, Helen Turner, added, “We’re thrilled to be marking the completion of our latest development. These wonderful new flats have transformed a vacant site and provided much-needed quality affordable homes in the West of Glasgow.”
