Planning consent has been secured from Glasgow City Council for new homes, a hotel, leisure facilities and public open space as well as improved connectivity for neighbouring communities as part of the Glasgow Waters scheme by Peel Waters.

The Yorkhill Quay scheme will transform a currently derelict brownfield site into a vibrant waterfront neighbourhood, connecting the west end of Glasgow to the city centre.

Brian Lavalette, Property Director for Scotland at Peel Waters, said: “It’s great to see the planning consent come through for this fantastic sustainable development at Glasgow Waters.

“Glasgow Waters is one of the largest and most exciting regeneration projects in Scotland and Yorkhill Quay will be a major, landmark development within it, delivering much-needed new homes, improved connectivity and infrastructure whilst creating a pipeline of new jobs for our community.

“We now look forward to partnering up with leading, innovative developers and specialists to transform this derelict brownfield site into a vibrant waterfront neighbourhood with a thriving community.”

The approved plans include 1,100 new homes for the open market, build-to-rent and co-living sectors, alongside a 200-bedroom hotel, commercial space and 2,500 sqm of land for leisure use.

The new neighbourhood sits within Peel’s wider emerging Glasgow Waters district and includes new walkways and cycleways which will run along a new waterfront promenade stretching along Yorkhill Quay, which will help connect neighbourhoods in Partick and Finnieston, as well as the riverfront between the celebrated tourist attractions.
