Lovell has been selected to deliver a new housing development in Glasgow's East End, it has been announced.
The housing developer was chosen by Shettleston Housing Association for the build, which will cater for those aged 55 and over.
The £3m project will be situated in Fernan Street, Shettleston. Located over two-storeys, the 29 self-contained apartments will be made available for social rent, while two of the flats will be created for residents who use wheelchairs.
The development has been designed by Anderson Bell + Christie and will feature a secure private courtyard, as well as parking and communal gardens. In addition, the kitchens and living spaces of the apartments will face the courtyard.
As for the properties themselves, they have been designed to be energy-efficient, and will incorporate photovoltaic solar panels and heat recovery ventilation systems. This allows fresh air into the homes without letting heat escape.
Annie McAllister, chair of Shettleston Housing Association, said: "We're all delighted that this site, which was sitting with a derelict building on it, is being transformed into a lovely housing development that will meet the needs of some of our older residents, here in Shettleston.
"We're particularly looking forward to the seeing the fantastic designs for the courtyard become reality and to seeing how all the energy efficiency features will help keep tenants' bills down."
Chris Cunningham, director of Shettleston Housing Association, added: "Thanks go to Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government for supporting this great project and enabling it to come to fruition. Our funding partners are helping the Association to regenerate parts of our community, which will lead to better lives for many of its residents."
Alan Taylor, Lovell regional director, commented: "As a city-based company, we are extremely pleased to have been chosen by Shettleston Housing Association to deliver these much needed modern energy-efficient and high-quality affordable homes for local residents.
"The new development will be a great place to live with shops and other local facilities all nearby. There is also excellent access to public transport making it easy to get to the rest of the East End and city centre. We are delighted to be continuing our strong working relationships with Shettleston Housing Association through our selection for this latest project."
