Cruden Homes has launched the final phase of its King’s View development in Toryglen, Glasgow, marking the conclusion of over a decade of regeneration in the south side of the city.
Situated 15 minutes from the city centre, within North Toryglen, one of Glasgow’s eight Transformational Regeneration Areas (TRAs), King’s View has been central to a long-term partnership between Cruden Homes, Wheatley Group, Glasgow City Council, Clyde Gateway and the Scottish Government. Together, this collaboration has delivered hundreds of new homes, jobs and community improvements, reshaping the area into one of the city’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
Since the first phase launched over a decade ago, nearly 400 homes have been built at King’s View, including almost 200 private homes by Cruden. The final release for sale includes a further 56 two and three-bedroom houses with private gardens built to the Glasgow Gold Standard for energy efficiency, incorporating technologies such as solar PV panels and air-source heat pumps.
Cruden Homes says that each sales release of homes at King’s View has seen a record number of first-time buyers, growing families and downsizers, reflecting the demand for affordable and sustainable private housing in the area.
Fraser Lynes, managing director of Cruden Homes, said: “King’s View is a story of long-term transformation, but it’s also about delivering the type of homes that people in Glasgow need right now. For first-time buyers especially, the chance to own an attainable home with a garden in a well-connected community is increasingly rare. That’s why every release of new homes here has been met with such phenomenal demand. This final phase is both a milestone in regeneration and a response to a housing market where opportunities like this are few and far between.”
Cruden Homes says that local people and residents at King’s View will benefit from a significant investment in green space, community facilities and connectivity. The Malls Mire Community Woodland nature reserve, delivered by Clyde Gateway and King’s Park are both nearby, while a range of local amenities, including shops, schools, nurseries, healthcare and play areas, are in easy access.
