Glasgow City Council (GCC) have announced that the City Legacy Consortium comprising RMJM and developers CCG, Cruden, MacTaggart & Mickel and W.H. Malcolm are to design and deliver the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Athletes Village.

Providing accommodation and facilities for 6,500 competitors and officials the site will be designed to revert to residential use after the Games road show rolls out of town, creating a new east end residential neighbourhood with  1,400 low carbon homes and a care home for the elderly.

GCC will provide the land free of charge in return for a later profit sharing agreement, a move designed to alleviate the still tight lending environment for developers and allowing development to commence next year.

City Legacy beat off stiff competition from two rival consortia:
Broadway Malyan Consortium with Arup, Drivers Jonas and New City Vision.
PPC Consortium with Ian Simpson & gm+ad
