North Toryglen Regeneration Nears Completion With 60 New Homes

Construction News Image
The final phase of a 15-year regeneration project in North Toryglen, Glasgow, has begun, with plans to build nearly 60 new homes. Wheatley Homes Glasgow, in partnership with Glasgow City Council and Cruden, is constructing 48 homes for social rent and 10 for mid-market rent.

The £12.5 million development is part of the Transformational Regeneration Area (TRA) program, a partnership between Wheatley Group, Glasgow City Council, and the Scottish Government. The project has received an £8 million grant from the Scottish Government's Affordable Housing Supply Programme, managed by Glasgow City Council.

The new homes, a mix of one and two-bedroom flats and three-bedroom family homes, are expected to be completed in summer 2026. This final phase follows the construction of 100 social homes for Wheatley Homes Glasgow and 172 homes for sale by Cruden.

"We're delighted to have started work on this final phase of new affordable homes in North Toryglen," said Lindsay Lauder, Director of Development and Regeneration at Wheatley Group. "It brings to a close more than 15 years of investment and transformation in the community, providing a range of high quality, affordable housing for local people."

The mid-market rent homes will be managed by Lowther, part of Wheatley Group.

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Convener for Housing, Development and Land Use at Glasgow City Council and chair of the TC:G, said: “These new high-quality and much-needed affordable homes will be a very welcome addition to the housing currently being built in the city, and we are delighted to work with our partners on this project. The energy-efficiency and adaptability of these homes, set in the attractive environment being created in North Toryglen, will make them fantastic places for people to stay."

Fraser Lynes, Managing Director of Cruden Homes, added: “We are pleased to continue our strong relationship with Wheatley Group as we work on the final phase of North Toryglen's transformation, delivering high-quality, energy-efficient homes that support Glasgow City Council's vision for a vibrant, inclusive community. Beyond the homes themselves, this development's commitment to biodiversity - through green spaces, walking and cycling routes, and dedicated wildlife features - are just some of the reasons why North Toryglen is an inspiring place for residents to live, connect, and thrive."
