Glasgow approves £100m Wyndford regeneration for 401 affordable homes

Glasgow City Council has approved the £100m Wyndford regeneration in north Glasgow, clearing the way for CCG (Scotland) to build 401 affordable homes for Wheatley on the site of demolished multi-storey blocks.

The consented plans comprise 343 homes for social rent and 58 for mid-market rent, in a mix of flats and houses, CCG said in its announcement of the approval. Construction is due to start in spring 2027.

The scheme was designed by ECD Architects. Alongside the homes, the plans include a two-storey community centre with a café and bookable rooms, plus green spaces, landscaping, seating and active travel routes across the River Kelvin.

Frank McCafferty, Group Director of Assets and Development at Wheatley, said at the time CCG was named preferred tenderer: "This is a new dawn for Wyndford, and our regeneration work will transform the area for generations to come."

The tenure split

Tenure	Homes
Social rent	343
Mid-market rent	58

The 343 and 58 figures are broadly in line with the 85% social rent and 15% mid-market rent split CCG gave when it announced its preferred tenderer appointment for primary contractor services on the project in Maryhill.

The delivery chain

CCG was earlier named preferred tenderer for primary contractor services on the project, which CCG said is being delivered by hub West Scotland on behalf of Wheatley Homes Glasgow. David Wylie, Managing Director of CCG (Scotland), said the project marked a return to working with hub West Scotland, which he described as the contractor's collaborative development partner, and that of the schemes the two had delivered together "the Wyndford regeneration is among the most significant yet."

Wylie said the project would bring local employment, apprenticeships and investment to Maryhill and the wider north Glasgow area. Iain Marley, Chief Executive Officer of Hub West Scotland, said the partners were committed to social value through local jobs, skills and investment in local supply chains throughout the construction phase.

At the time of that appointment, three multi-storey blocks on the estate had already been demolished and a fourth was being taken down, according to CCG.

CCG's earlier announcement said construction was expected to begin in late 2026, subject to planning approvals. Its announcement of the consent now gives a start date of spring 2027.

The design

ECD Architects describes the Wyndford Estate regeneration as a £100m community-led, landscape-driven masterplan for Wheatley Homes Glasgow. The practice said the masterplan is built around a green spine linking Maryhill Road to the River Kelvin, and that the proposals were shaped by a co-design process with the community over 20 months.

The design has been shortlisted twice in 2026. ECD said the scheme was shortlisted in the Regeneration and Masterplanning category at the 2026 Scottish Design Awards, and that One Wyndford, as the practice calls the project, was shortlisted in the Green Construction category at the Green Awards UK, whose ceremony was scheduled for September 2026.

CCG described the development as a community-led, landscape-driven new build in northwest Glasgow, providing 401 energy-efficient affordable homes.

The contractor

CCG was founded in 1974 as a small heating and plumbing contractor, according to its own company profile, and now has a directly employed workforce of 645 people.

Work on site is scheduled to begin in spring 2027.
