Urban Union has been granted the go-ahead by planners to proceed with 137 new terraced homes and flats on a 5.74 acre site at Pollokshaws.

Located between Shawholm Crescent and Shawbridge Street the Barton Willmore design will move on-site this summer.

Jon Parry, associate architect at Barton Willmore, said: “The new housing development at Pollokshaws has been designed by Barton Willmore’s integrated team bringing together architects, town planners and landscape architects. We have placed a strong emphasis on quality and connectivity using the local knowledge of our new Glasgow office.

“It’s exciting to be a part of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to strengthen and reinvigorate this important area of Glasgow, once home to a range of low and high-rise blocks. Our plans include vibrant public realm spaces and a well-considered streetscape that connects extremely well into the surrounding context, with easy access to the open countryside of Pollok Country Park.”
