Cassiltoun moves on site with 60 new homes

Cassiltoun Housing Association has commenced on site with its latest new build project in the east end of Castlemilk.The Castlemilk Drive development will provide 60 new flats for social rent designed to the ‘Glasgow Standard’, achieving the Gold Hybrid sustainability standard.As well as providing much needed accommodation to assist applicants from its waiting list, Cassiltoun also hopes to encourage existing tenants currently over-occupying larger family homes to apply for transfers, to free up four and five-bed houses from its existing stock.The land was transferred to Cassiltoun in 2009 as part of the stock transfer process with GHA, having previously housed Glasgow City Council stock. Situated close to local amenities and bus stops, it is set to be one of the most popular developments in the local area.The design and build project will be delivered by Cruden Homes West alongside its sister company Cruden Buildings and Renewals Ltd.The project is being funded through a combination of grant assistance from Glasgow City Council under the Affordable Housing Supply Programme and private borrowings secured with CAF Bank.The project will come off-site in a phased basis from summer 2021 through to spring 2022.
