More homes are set to be built on Glasgow’s Commonwealth Games athletes’ village site.
of development would see City Legacy Ltd provide 125 new houses in Dalmarnock on “the residue of the site”.officials have said changes to an agreement with the developer need to be approved. They would include progressing the scheme as one phase, instead of two.
Councillor Ruairi Kelly, the council’s convener for neighbourhood services and assets, said: “The athletes’ village was a landmark development for Dalmarnock and the East End of Glasgow, bringing high-quality housing for sale and social rent to the area and was clearly a catalyst for the wider and ongoing regeneration of this part of the city.
Glasgow City Council entered into an agreement with City Legacy for the development of the Commonwealth Games village in 2010.Phase one focused on the use and sale of the 700 flats and houses which made up the 2014 athletes’ village while phase two relates to the “development of the residue of the site”.A council report added the two parties “also agreed that City Legacy would have the right to sell the completed residential units to third party purchasers and retain the proceeds of such sales”.
Work was split into 2A and 2B due to the “location of what was known as the Scottish Power site” — land owned by Scottish Power which the council planned to buy.
