Development Plans

We strive to do more than simply house our tenants – we’re dedicated to improving lives, creating opportunities and building a safe, secure and thriving community for the people of Greater Govan.

We actively seek out development opportunities in Govan and surrounding areas – our latest project are showcased below.

NIMMO DRIVE – AN UPDATE

We have some exciting news relating to our proposed development of new homes at Nimmo Drive and Elderpark Street.

Glasgow City Council has recently approved grant funding to support the development of these new social rented homes. The funding, called Housing Association Grant (HAG), is necessary to allow these new homes to be built at an affordable rent for those that will eventually live in them.

We are working with the JR Construction Group who hope to begin work on site in the summer probably for a period of 12-18 months and this great news meets our commitment to build desirable and affordable new homes in our community where they are much needed.

The 43 new homes will be built on the site of the Elderpark Community Centre now that the building has reached the end of its useful life and the “Mac Ventilation” premises opposite.

It is important to note that once these buildings are demolished Elderpark will not be left without a community resource like the Elderpark Community Centre.

For some time now Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life in partnership with your housing association have been working to significantly refurbish and modernise the historic Elderpark library into a community hub.

Work is nearing completion and we are sure that together we can deliver a state of the art community facility which will be a worthy successor to the existing centre.
