A new 46-home development by Partick Housing Association (PHA) has been completed with the new development launched in Anniesland.
Members of Glasgow City Council visited the new £10 million development this week as it was officially handed over by contractors CCG (Scotland) to PHA following the 18-month programme.
The homes include a mix of one and two-bedroom flats as well as social rented and mid-market rent homes.
Councillor Kenny McLean, Convener for Housing at Glasgow City Council, said: “It’s great to see this fantastic development reach completion. These social and mid-market-rent flats in Anniesland, will meet the needs of a range of people and bring new life to this site beside the canal.

Partick Housing Association’s chief executive, Stewart MacKenzie added: “Thanks to the Council, our funders, other partners and the community for their support at Bearsden Road. These new homes will transform the lives of everyone who moves in.”
The development is made up of two blocks of flats reaching five storeys over Bearsden Road and Crow Road acting as the gateway to Anniesland. It includes resident parking and outdoor amenity space complete with public art, while creating a new pedestrian and cycle path next to the Forth & Clyde Canal.
