Construction begins on affordable homes for West of Scotland Housing Association

Housebuilder Springfield Properties has commenced construction on the first phase of 114 affordable homes in Dalmarnock for West of Scotland Housing Association (WSHA). The homes, built as part of an £18.2 million partnership with WSHA, will transform the former goods yard opposite the train station, a site that has lain vacant for approximately 60 years. Springfield is building the social rented and mid-market rent homes which range in size from one to five bedrooms, and once complete, will be surrounded by open communal areas and flexible commercial spaces. The developers have planning permission to build a total of 237 homes on the site and the company are in negotiations with another provider to deliver the remaining 123 homes. Springfield is expecting to complete and hand over the first homes to WSHA in 2022.
