Glasgow City Council has agreed to a variation in the development agreement with the City Legacy consortium, which will allow the developer to sub-lease to Cruden Group and CCG.

Cruden will build the 67 homes for sale, with CCG building the 58 homes for social rent at the same time. The change in the variation in the development agreement will allow Cruden to access available funding to allow them to build the homes for social rent.

It is expected that construction on these homes is expected to begin in late 2025 / early 2026, with expected completion towards the end of 2028.

The City Legacy developer consortium worked with Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government from 2010-2015 to create the first phase of the Athletes’ Village, with 700 homes (a mix of houses and flats, largely the former) used for a period to house the athletes competing in the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games before being converted back for domestic use. The homes to be built in Phase 2 will also be mixed in tenure type.

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, convener for Housing, Development and Land Use at Glasgow City Council, said: “This is great news for Dalmarnock and for the East End. Work can soon begin to build over 100 much-needed homes for both sale and social rent, building on the remarkable regeneration of this neighbourhood and transforming a site that has been vacant for some time.”
