Developers have hailed the start of work on new homes on the site of a former shopping centre in Scotland’s largest city.
The new, high-quality, homes "will cater for a range of needs" and include a mix of one and two-bedroom properties.
CCG (Scotland) is building the affordable homes where Shawbridge Arcade stood in Pollokshaws, Glasgow, on behalf of Lowether and, part of Wheatley Group
James Ward, managing director of Lowther, said: "The regeneration at Shawbridge Street is an exciting opportunity for us to bring new life to the community while delivering quality housing that people are proud to call home.
"These new mid-market homes will give people who don’t have priority for social housing an opportunity to rent a quality home in a fantastic location."

He added: "Working closely with our partners at Scottish Government, Glasgow City Counci and CCG we expect the new homes to be completed around Spring 2026.
"Mid-market rents are a great option for people on low and modest incomes to access affordable rented accommodation. Mid-market rents with Lowther start at £459 a month."
The first phase of the development was completed earlier this year, with the handover of 34 homes.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
