The council has approved plans to transform a derelict brownfield site into a vibrant waterfront neighbourhood.

The project, led by waterside regeneration specialists Peel Waters, will create an all-new neighbourhood named Yorkhill Quayin the West End of the city.

Part of the larger Glasgow Waters district project, Yorkhill Quay will feature 1,100 new homes, a 200-bedroom hotel, commercial space, and 2,500 square metres of leisure area.

The development aims to connect city centre areas with Glasgow’s West End and sits within Peel’s wider emerging Glasgow Waters district which is already home to the award-winning Clydeside Distillery and the Riverside Museum.

New walkways and cycle paths will run along the new waterfront promenade connecting the Partick and Finnieston neighbourhoods.

Additionally, 'River Rooms' and terraces overlooking the historic River Clyde will be created for the public to use.

Peel Waters also plans waterfront retail and leisure units for independent and established businesses.

Brian Lavalette, property director for Scotland at Peel Waters, said: "It’s great to see the planning consent come through for this fantastic sustainable development at Glasgow Waters.

“Glasgow Waters is one of the largest and most exciting regeneration projects in Scotland and Yorkhill Quay will be a major, landmark development within it, delivering much-needed new homes, improved connectivity and infrastructure whilst creating a pipeline of new jobs for our community.

"We now look forward to partnering up with leading, innovative developers and specialists to transform this derelict brownfield site into a vibrant waterfront neighbourhood with a thriving community."
