A planning application for 29 new affordable homes in Baillieston has been submitted to Glasgow City Council by The JR Group, on behalf of Wheatley Group.
The proposed development on Caledonia Road comprises a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments, including some designed for wheelchair users.
The site, purchased from City Property, has been derelict since 2012. The plans aim to transform the location and make use of unused land to boost local housing supply.
Andrew Dallas, projects director for The JR Group, said, “Our plans will deliver modern, energy-efficient affordable homes while revitalising an area that needs regeneration. As a Homes for Scotland member, we are committed to tackling the housing crisis both locally and nationally.
“We believe these homes will help meet local demand and support Glasgow City Council’s housing targets. It’s crucial to develop sites like this in well-connected, active communities. We look forward to moving through the planning process and bringing this project to life.”
Frank McCafferty, group director of assets and development at Wheatley Group, added, “As Scotland’s largest builder of social rented homes over the past decade, we are dedicated to increasing the supply of high-quality, energy-efficient homes in communities throughout the country. If our planning application is successful, these much-needed affordable homes in Baillieston will help address local housing needs.”
If approved, construction would begin in autumn 2025, with completion expected by winter 2026.
