______ Project Overview

Calton Village is a new affordable housing development designed by Hypostyle Architects providing 254 homes for social and mid-market rent featuring a mix of 1–2 bedroom flats and 3-4 bedroom houses. Transforming a previously vacant site in Glasgow’s East End, the development is a joint venture between Wheatley Group and McTaggart Construction, supported by Glasgow City Council’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme.

Construction of the second phase is now well underway and due to complete in 2026.
