Good news that the £16.2m 125 home Phase 2 development at Maryhill Locks is scheduled to start in September and will be managed by ISIS, who are likely to retain 19 homes which will be available for private sale; the other 106 will be for social rent by Maryhill and Glasgow Housing Associations’.
As previously announced in the Evening Times this will be part of a £70 million plan to breathe new life into Maryhill. The masterplan, which includes 400 new homes, along with shops and restaurants, aims to transform the Maryhill canalside into a modern sustainable community. The Maryhill Locks scheme, which is being delivered through the Glasgow Canal Regeneration Partnership, Maryhill Housing Association and the Maryhill Transformational Regeneration Area (TRA), aims to breathe new life into 18 hectares of land in the north west of the city. As part of the plan, a mixture of social rented and private housing will be built on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal, set around the centrepiece that will be Maryhill Locks Park.
