PLANS for new homes on Glasgow’s Riverside have been unveiled as part of a £130 million project.

The proposals would transform "derelict" land, which is currently being used as a car park, into hundreds of new apartments.

The site was previously home to Snodgrass Flour Mill, east of the Kingston Bridge.

Now if plans are accepted it could expect to see 450 direct and indirect jobs created as a result.

The properties will likely be built to rent and 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.

This will take place at two public consultations on Wednesday, March 22 and Wednesday, May 10.

The proposals mark the latest development from the global real estate investment management company, CA Ventures, which recently completed a 422-bed purpose-built student accommodation development on Cathedral Street.

A spokesperson for 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.

“Anyone with an interest in the proposals can attend our in-person events on March 22 and May 10, where our project team will be on-hand to discuss the proposals with the local community and to answer any questions they may have.”

 

 

Both consultations are being held between 3pm and 7pm at Box Hub, 50 Washington St, Glasgow, G3 8AZ.

A full project website will be published in the coming weeks, following publication of a holding page on Friday, March 3 at 82washingtonstreet.consultationonline.co.uk
