Homes by the Park

Between 2017 – 2021 The Association was in  negotiations with Glasgow City Council to purchase   a large area of land surrounded by Castlemilk Park.  It was previously used by Glasgow City Council  as a  Nursery to grow plants and flowers for the parks and hanging baskets around the city.  This is our ‘Homes by the Park’ development where we eventually hope to produce somewhere in the region of 130 new homes.

The Council provided CHA with funding to undertake  a feasibility study, seeking to review the viability of carrying out a housing development at the site.   Cassiltoun commissioned Collective Architecture to undertake the study during 2017/18.  During 2019-2020 we spent time  working up design proposals  for what we envisaged would be a mixed tenure development- with a range of unit sizes and types for both social rent and outright ownership. We also hoped to include a Social Enterprise and Wellbeing Centre on the site, linking in with the Association’s aspiration to expand the business operations within the local area.

Unfortunately, in early 2021 we were advised by GCC to put the scheme on hold due to some legal and funding issues surrounding the development. We hope this will just be a temporary ‘mothballing’ of our plans. We will update this page of our website once we have more information.
