THE regeneration of North Glasgow will continue with the building of 600 houses now underway on the former Diageo distillery site in Port Dundas.

The Dundashill project will be delivered by Scottish Canals, Bigg Regeneration and Igloo. Builders will be on the site in 2019.

Dundashill will be among 3000 new houses being built across North Glasgow in the next few years. The project forms part of the multi-million pound regeneration of the Glasgow Canal which includes Pinkston Watersports Centre, Glasgow’s Wake Park, a new nature reserve and the opening of Rockvilla, home of the National Theatre of Scotland.

Catherine Topley of Scottish Canals, said: “Today’s exciting announcement brings to life our ambitions for the area with the creation of an entirely new neighbourhood for North Glasgow which will see 600 quality homes being built, including the city’s first custom design housing offer.”
