North Gate

The North Gate project develops a longstanding vacant brownfield site, providing a new city landmark that completes the Gorbals masterplan. It contains 31 units, comprising of 1 and 2 bed flats for 100% social rent and designed to suit the needs of primarily older residents. Flats exceed the ‘Glasgow Standard’ of housing, with features such as large internal storage, wide corridors to assist movement for residents, step free access throughout and level access showers. The residents are provided with a communal social facility via a living-well service, encouraging tenants to live independently, while remaining socially interconnected with friends and neighbours.
