Friday saw the opening of our project at Altyre Street in Glasgow, delivering forty-two affordable homes for Tollcross Housing Association, comprising a mix of townhouses and flats to increase family housing in the area.

Page\Park has worked with Tollcross Housing Association since 2018 to develop the long-term brownfield site. Formerly inter-war tenements and before that a Victorian colliery, we supported the Housing Association to overcome the challenges of delivering development on a challenging site and fulfil their ambition to remake the street as a high-quality, family-friendly place to live.

Chris Elliot, Chair, Tollcross Housing Association said;

“It’s great to see another brilliant new development completed by the Association. It’s such a demanding process for any Committee to deal with all the different aspects of a new build development, and it just seems to keep getting harder and harder. But we’re absolutely determined to keep working to ensure that everyone has a decent house.

And talking of hard work, a massive thank you to all of my fellow Committee members and the staff team at Tollcross, we’ve all worked so hard to make sure the Association got absolutely everything possible out of this project.”

The project was delivered on-site by McTaggart Construction, with a design team including RaeburnFarquarBowen landscape architects, Reid Associates quantity surveyors, and Fairhurst, providing civil and structural engineering services.

We wish all the new tenants the very best in their new homes, and look forward to watching a new community grow and establish within the heart of Tollcross.
