Glasgow City Council has unveiled plans to create a masterplan for one of the most recognisable spots in Govan – and build more than 100 new homes in the area (October 12th).The proposal – being drawn up with the help of the community – will look at the potential for a whole new development at Water Row, from housing to retail and leisure facilities.The vision is a ‘lively attractive destination’ where the old Harland and Wolff Shipyard once stood, drawing on the historic buildings around Water Row and tourist attractions like Govan Old Parish Church and the Riverside Museum across the water.It will mean up to 100 mid-market rentals and 32 homes for social rent, with work expected to start around September 2019.Glasgow City Council estimate the cost of the project at £17 million.
