The recent launch of the final phase of Cruden Homes’ multi-award-winning King’s View development in Toryglen marks the conclusion of over a decade of transformational regeneration in the south side of Glasgow.
Situated just 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.
While the regeneration story is remarkable, the timing of this final phase is equally significant. Across Glasgow, first-time buyers face rising house prices, limited supply and a market dominated by mostly flatted developments. Family homes with front and back gardens are increasingly scarce, and opportunities to buy well-designed, energy-efficient homes close to the city centre are in huge demand.

Every sales release of homes at King’s View has seen a record number of first-time buyers, growing families and downsizers, snapping up these homes off-plan. The appetite reflects a genuine need for affordable private housing that offers both space and sustainability.
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.”
The regeneration of North Toryglen has been about more than new homes. Local people are benefiting from significant investment in green space, community facilities and connectivity. Residents at King’s View enjoy access to Malls Mire Community Woodland nature reserve, delivered by Clyde Gateway, together with nearby King’s Park, and a wealth of local amenities including shops, schools, nurseries, healthcare, play areas and excellent transport links. Hampden Park, Scotland’s National Stadium, is just minutes away.
This comprehensive approach, combining sustainable housing, community investment and green infrastructure, has made King’s View a benchmark for regeneration across Scotland.
With reservations being taken for the final phase, it’s the last chance for home buyers to secure a home at what’s arguably been one of the city’s most sought after housing developments.
