Proposals unveiled for new homes on Glasgow’s riverside

Plans have been unveiled to transform derelict land once home to a flour mill, as part of an £130m residential development on Glasgow’s riverside.The proposals would see the construction of hundreds of new apartments – likely built to rent – on the site of the former Snodgrass Flour Mill, east of the Kingston Bridge.Around 450 direct and indirect jobs are expected to be created during the construction period and once the site is in operation.Commercial space is also planned for the ground floors of the current car park site.As part of the pre-application consultation process, the local community will have an opportunity to view the proposals in person at two public consultations on 22 March and 10 May.A spokesperson for developer CA Ventures said: “These proposals will regenerate what is currently a derelict site in Glasgow’s city centre, contributing to the ongoing redevelopment of the waterfront as a place to live and work.“Glasgow was the location of our first development in the UK, and we remain committed to delivering substantial investment in the city.“This is a great opportunity to transform a forgotten part of the riverside area by making it an attractive place for city centre living, while boosting the local and wider economy.”The public consultations are being held at Box Hub, 50 Washington St, Glasgow.Don’t miss the latest headlines with our twice-daily newsletter – sign up here for free.
