Work is scheduled to be completed by spring next year.

David Fletcher, Wheatley Group Director of Regeneration, said: "These modern, stylish, energy-efficient homes will make a big difference to this part of the city.

"Wheatley is dedicated to increasing the supply of affordable housing across Glasgow and mid-market rent is a good option for people who may not qualify for social housing."

Calum Murray, Director of CCG, said: "Batson street represents one of several projects due to be delivered with Wheatley Group in 2018 and CCG are delighted to continue our long-standing partnership in delivering high-quality, affordable housing in Glasgow.

"This is an exciting new development which will bring much needed affordable housing to Govanhill and through our capabilities in offsite manufacturing and construction, residents are set to benefit from enhanced levels of environmental performance and reduced energy bills."
