HUNDREDS of new homes are set to be built on the site of a legendary sporting event.<\/p>\n

The new development will be built near the site of the \u00a3230m Athletes’ Village in Glasgow<\/a>‘s Dalmarnock.<\/p>\n

More homes could be coming to the siteCredit: Tom Farmer<\/p>\n

It was built to house the sporting champions competing in the 2014 Commonwealth<\/a> Games.<\/p>\n

In the 11 years since the games<\/a>, the homes have been used to house residents.<\/p>\n

But even more homes are set to be built on the site.<\/p>\n

Glasgow City Council<\/a> have reached a deal with the City Legacy consortium for the new project, which has been dubbed Phase 2 of the Athletes’ Village.<\/p>\n

The arrangement has seen the land leased to firms Cruden and CCG.<\/p>\n

Between them they will build a mix of private and social<\/a> housing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are already 700 houses<\/a> and flats on the site, with a further 125 coming with the second phase.<\/p>\n

Cruden will build 67 private homes which will be put up for sale while CCG will build the social housing.<\/p>\n

Building work<\/a> is set to begin later this year or in the start of 2026.<\/p>\n

Officials say the homes are expected to be built by 2028.<\/p>\n

Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games: did they leave a lasting legacy?<\/p>\n

Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Convener for Housing, Development and Land Use at Glasgow City Council, said: “This is great news for Dalmarnock and for the East End. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“Work can soon begin to build over 100 much-needed homes for both sale and social rent, building on the remarkable regeneration of this neighbourhood and transforming a site that has been vacant for some time.”<\/p>\n

The Athletes’ Village was heralded as bringing regeneration to one of Scotland<\/a>‘s poorest areas.<\/p>\n

But despite hopes more investment will come into the area with the new development, some residents last year told The Scottish Sun on Sunday there are still issues more than a decade after it was built<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite more homes being on the way but those living there have complained about a lack of shops and other crucial amenities.<\/p>\n

One woman, 36, moved in just after the athletes left and doesn\u2019t share the optimism.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI have no complaints<\/a> with the house \u2014 I just wish it was somewhere else.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of antisocial behaviour.<\/p>\n

\u201cFights happen most weekends<\/a>, there\u2019s a lot of fly-tipping and some of the houses already need a fair bit of work outside.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would never have thought about moving here before the Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was so nice when they were first built.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019re in dire need of more shops and things for kids to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like the land that time forgot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another tenant complained about problems with the plumbing in buildings saying dirty water has risen up through toilets and baths in a number of properties.<\/p>\n
