North Glasgow’s Big Housing Push | Glasgow News

North Glasgow is set to transform a 30-hectare derelict site in Cowlairs into a thousand new homes — a £270 million project tackling the city’s housing crisis. Once home to football pitches and old housing, the land has sat idle since the 90s, but now it’s poised for revival with backing from the council, a private investor, and the Scottish National Investment Bank. After earlier failed plans and scaled-back ambitions, this latest proposal includes just 300 affordable units managed by West of Scotland Housing Association, with the rest as private or build-to-rent. Funding hurdles remain — £34 million needed from the Scottish Government — but officials call it one of the most exciting urban regeneration projects in years, aiming to create a walkable, modern neighborhood that could redefine Scottish city planning if approved next year.
