The Clyde Waterfront provides a fantastic environment to live - as a large number of residents can already testify. 6,000 new homes have been created since 2003.
A series of modern, stylish apartments has sprung up along the Broomielaw, while at Glasgow Harbour hundreds of new homes are being developed to create a new riverside community. Six residential phases will result in total 2,500 homes. The first of these, Glasgow Harbour phase 1, involved three different housebuilders and is now complete.
The developers for Glasgow Harbour phase 2 are Dandara, a company new to Scotland with wide experience of urban regeneration projects. Completion of phase 2 is expected in 2010.
Near SECC, Skyline apartments was completed in 2008, providing more accommodation close to the developing financial services sector.
In the city centre, there are ambitious plans for new housing at the heart of Glasgow's riverfront. Developments such as Lancefield Quay and River Heights are already proving popular with new city dwellers.
Further down the Clyde, at Braehead in Renfrew, new housing developments are well underway at Ferry Village and projects in Clydebank are also creating attractive new homes by the waterfront.
As work continues, existing communities such as Govan, Old Kilpatrick and Erskine will be linked to the new residential areas, with a series of bridges, footpaths and an improved transport network.
