Homes

Well over 20,000 new homes are planned as part of the Clyde Waterfront project. The resources here are links to those involved in building these new homes. There are also links to organisations involved in planning and supporting housing services.

There is a wide range of new homes in the area from studio apartments to 4 bedroom houses. There is also a range of tenures including buying, renting from housing associations, renting privately and shared ownership.
