16 NEW DEVELOPMENTS
Agreement signed for £250m development in Sighthill, Glasgow
Sighthill Transformational Regeneration Area (TRA) in Glasgow. As part of the 10-year regeneration programme, which is set to inject £250m into the neighbourhood, Keepmoat will be delivering 826 new homes - 628 of which will be available for private sale and 198 for mid- market rent via Glasgow Housing Association. The regeneration programme is being delivered by Transforming Communities: Glasgow, which is a partnership between Glasgow City Council, Glasgow Housing Association and the Scottish Government, with funding from the Glasgow City Region City Deal. As well as providing much needed homes, Keepmoat will be working
A
closely with Transforming Communities to deliver long-lasting economic and social outcomes for the people and communities of Sighthill. A key part of the plans for the development, which is located to the north of
the city, is to improve the connectivity of Sighthill to Glasgow. This will include the construction of a road bridge across the Glasgow-Edinburgh railway line, as well as the introduction of a footbridge across the M8 – a “street in the sky” that will connect Sighthill to the neighbouring city centre. Along with the new homes, retail units, green space and commercial developments also feature on the masterplan for Sighthill’s new sustainable community, which, when complete, will be the biggest project of its kind in the UK outside of London. As part of Keepmoat’s commitment to delivering wider community
benefits the housebuilder is expected to deliver 62 new jobs for modern apprentices, graduates and new entrants, 45 new construction jobs, as well as support for 46 apprenticeships and 82 work placements. The community benefits programme will also extend to education and training support, as well as a commitment of £120,000 to support local engagement initiatives. Keepmoat is due to start on site late spring/early summer 2019 and will deliver a selection of locally inspired and contemporary styles to create a distinctive mix of one, two, three, four and five-bedroom homes. James Thomson, CEO of Keepmoat Homes, said: “Sighthill is a flagship
development for us. As the largest project of its kind outside London it is a very exciting opportunity to truly transform this area of the city, creating long-term benefits. We are delighted to have been chosen to work with Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Housing Association on this exciting regeneration programme and we will employ the greatest effort and care to ensure that the ambition of Transforming Communities: Glasgow is fulfilled and, as such, create an exciting, rich and desirable place to live, work and play.”
