Plans to create a low carbon community with new homes, a hotel, leisure facilities and public open space at Peel L&P’s Glasgow Waters have been approved by Glasgow City Council.

The proposals at Yorkhill Quay on the northern banks of the River Clyde include 1,100 new homes for open market, build to rent and co-living alongside a 200-bedroom hotel, commercial space and 2,500 sqm of land for leisure use including adventure golf.

Brian Lavalette, Peel L&P’s Property Director for Scotland, said: “Our proposals for Glasgow Waters , a currently derelict brownfield site, will help to reactivate the River Clyde waterfront to help create a diverse and thriving community connecting the West End to the city centre.

“We’re pleased the council has recognised the benefits the scheme will bring to the area, and we look forward to being able to start on site.”

The development will help connect neighbourhoods in Partick and Finnieston as well as the riverfront between key tourist attractions with walkways and cycleways along a new waterfront promenade.

Work is expected to start towards the end of 2023.
