Hundreds of new homes will be built in Glasgow on the site of several tower blocks that were destroyed more than 10 years ago.

Property developer, Keepmoat, has committed to investing £59.9million into the next phase of the Sighthill Transformation Regeneration Area (TRA).

The housebuilder announced it will create an additional 246 new homes at the multi-million-pound NorthBridge development on Pinkston Road, following the success of the first phase that created 154 homes.

As part of the works, Keepmoat will deliver another multi-tenure community, with more than 41 new homes being made available for the local housing association, Wheatley Homes Glasgow (WHG).

Meanwhile, the firm is also working with Glasgow City Council to create ‘enhanced and new transport links, green space, and walking and cycling routes’ in the area.

The development, now named ‘NorthBridge’ in honour of the new footbridge linking the new community with the heart of Glasgow directly across the M8, will create more than 1,150 new homes when complete, replacing 10 tower blocks that were demolished in 2011.

Tim Metcalfe, Regional Managing Director at Keepmoat, Scotland, said: “We’re delighted to launch the next phase of this flagship Scottish development, marking a significant step in our continued journey to transform the Sighthill area, providing much-needed housing in Glasgow.

“Delivered across multiple phases and in close partnership with the local authority, this project reflects our long-term commitment to the city and our ambition to create exceptional places to live.

“Following a strategic re-plan to increase the total homes from 824 to 1,154, we’re excited to move the latest phases forward, ensuring the team at Keepmoat delivers the right mix of quality homes, open space and connectivity into the city so residents can access amenities and opportunities.

“Keepmoat’s focus remains firmly on building sustainable, well-connected communities that stand the test of time.

“This isn’t just about building houses – it’s about investing in Glasgow’s future.”

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, City Convener for Housing, Development and Land Use at Glasgow City Council, added: “The transformation of Sighthill has been a great success so far with high-quality new homes, a new park and a fantastic environment close to the city centre, and the start of work on the next phase will develop what has already been achieved there as a great place to live.”
