Hundreds of new homes to buy in the Gorbals

Hundreds of private homes are set to be built as part of a multi-million pound plan to bring new residents into the Laurieston area of the Gorbals. City politicians have given the green light to plans for 600 new homes-for-sale and, potentially, 160 more. The go-ahead has also been given for a wider master plan which includes a hotel, shops and community facilities. However, it could be years before all the private homes are available. Supply of the flats and houses will be driven by demand.
