______ Project Overview

This proposed project will see the creation of 152 affordable homes on Caledonia Road, Glasgow. The mix of seven storey, four storey and two storey elements reflects the existing buildings in the area, including the Silverfir Court Tracoba blocks, the Maisonette blocks and the new build developments on Old Rutherglen Road and Oregon Street. Developing blocks taller than four storeys facilitates the incorporation of lift access to upper floor flats, improving inclusive access. The two storey elements add to the number of back and front door houses in the area.
