Glasgow City Council has granted planning permission for a major new waterside regenerate scheme, which will see the redevelopment of a derelict brownfield site.
The approved plans include new homes, a hotel, leisure facilities and public open space as well as improved connectivity for neighbouring communities.
Consent has now been issued by Glasgow City Council for plans submitted by waterside regeneration specialists Peel Waters to transform a currently derelict brownfield site into a vibrant waterfront neighbourhood, connecting the west end of Glasgow to the city centre.
The approved plans include 1,100 new homes for the open market, build-to-rent and co-living sectors, alongside a 200-bedroom hotel, commercial space and 2,500 square metres of land for leisure use.
The new 'Yorkhill Quay' neighbourhood sits within Peel's wider emerging Glasgow Waters district, which is already home to the award-winning Clydeside Distillery and the architecturally striking Riverside Museum. New walkways and cycleways will run along a new waterfront promenade stretching along Yorkhill Quay which will help connect neighbourhoods in Partick and Finnieston, as well as the riverfront between the celebrated tourist attractions.
A series of 'River Rooms' and south facing terraces with views of the historic River Clyde have been designed to maximise the river frontage; creating spaces for the public to use, improving their access to nature and establishing new outdoor spaces to explore and play whilst offering enhanced wellbeing.
The growing Glasgow Waters community will be well catered for through the addition of waterfront retail and leisure units running along the development offering plenty of amenity space and commercial opportunities for both independent and established businesses.
