CCG (Scotland) has started construction work on a multi-million pound development in Govan.

The firm, on behalf of Govan Housing Association, is set to build 92 flats costing £17 million in a waterfront development which will transform the look of Govan Cross.

Designed by Collective Architecture, the new homes – with an additional six commercial units beneath them – will be created at Water Row close to the River Clyde as part of a wider multi-million master plan to help regenerate the community.

Over the next five months, work will take place preparing the initial groundwork at a recently-closed car park where the flats will be created. Construction will get underway in January 2022 for a two-year duration.

Fiona McTaggart, Chief Executive of Govan Housing Association, said: "These new homes are the first phase of a bigger multi-million-pound Masterplan which will breathe new life into the Govan community. The delivery of much-needed affordable homes in the heart of our community remains a number one priority for Govan Housing Association.

"We acknowledge the efforts of many partners and agencies in working together and look forward to delivering new housing and further regeneration for our community."

The project is being designed to meet the local Glasgow City Council's 'Glasgow Standard' for new build housing- providing affordable, warm, safe and highly energy-efficient homes.
