The properties, being built for the Glasgow Housing Association (GHA), are located on the site of the former Barmulloch Primary School.
Barmulloch is an area that has been identified as a priority for regeneration by Transforming Communities: Glasgow (TC:G) – a partnership between GHA, Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government.
The £13.9m development is being built by contractor CCG, with part funding by the Scottish Government. It will be a mix of one- and two-bedroom flats, as well as two-, three- and four-bedroom houses. Of the homes, the GHA has said 10 will be built to wheelchair standard, while the development will also feature an amenity block for tenants who need additional support. The properties will provide GHA tenants, whose homes have been earmarked for demolition, a modern place to live.

Bailie Liz Cameron, Chair of the TCG Board, said: "It's great to see the building of these new homes in Barmulloch going so well.
"I am sure that the people living in them will really enjoy these high-quality flats and houses. This development mirrors the great work going on across the city through the Transforming Communities: Glasgow programme."
Bernadette Hewitt, Chair of GHA's local committee in the area, commented: "It's very exciting to see these new homes take shape and I know they will be a real boost to the area. I'm sure our tenants are going to enjoy living in these modern, stylish, energy-efficient homes."
Work on the development commenced in February, with the first homes expected to be completed by the end of the year.
