A development of 55 affordable homes has been built in Glasgow's Finnieston.

The flats are now ready for social rent at the Dover Street development, which was constructed by JR Group for Glasgow West Housing Association (GWHA).

Work began on the project in 2021, which also includes a commercial unit on the ground floor.

Residents are now picking up the keys to their new homes and they received a warm welcome from the developer, who provided a welcome pack including a kettle, kitchen utensils, bedding and toiletries. 

During the building of the Dover Street flats, JR Group supported local primary schools in the area by donating two playground benches, Easter eggs, and Christmas selection boxes to Anderson Primary School. 

Building items were also donated to Glasgow Gaelic School in Finnieston which were used for a project focused on construction.

Gary McGregor,  who is the managing director at The JR Group, said: “We’re pleased to see the completion of this milestone project and residents enjoying their new homes. We hope the welcome packs have helped residents start to feel at home with a few key items they may need.

“This is a fantastic city location, close to Glasgow City Centre as well as the west end, and has helped to meet the need for new, high-quality housing in the area.

“We worked closely with Glasgow West Housing Association, Coltart Earley Architects and AECOM Engineers to bring the apartments to life.

“As well as creating the high-quality homes here, we also supported the wider community through donations to local schools during our time on site."
