CONSTRUCTION work is expected to begin in late 2025 on the second phase of Glasgow’s Athlete’s Village which will deliver 125 new homes in Dalmarnock.
The news comes as Glasgow City Council agrees to a variation in the development agreement between it and the City Legacy consortium for the second phase of the Athletes’ Village, with the change allowing the developer to sub-lease to Cruden and CCG to build homes for sale and social rent.
Cruden will build 67 homes for sale, with CCG building 58 homes for social rent at the same time. The change in the variation in the development agreement will allow Cruden to access available funding to allow the firm to build the homes for social rent.
Work is expected to begin on the new homes in late 2025/early 2026, with Glasgow City Council adding that the builds are expected to be completed towards the end of 2028.
The City Legacy developer consortium worked with Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government from 2010-2015 to create the first phase of the Athletes’ Village, with 700 homes used for a period to house the athletes competing in the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games before being converted back for domestic use. The homes to be built in phase two will also be mixed in tenure type.
Councillor Ruairi Kelly, convener for housing, development, and land use at Glasgow City Council, said, “This is great news for Dalmarnock and for the East End. Work can soon begin to build over 100 much-needed homes for both sale and social rent, building on the remarkable regeneration of this neighbourhood and transforming a site that has been vacant for some time.”
