Laurieston TRA, situated in the Gorbals area on the Southside of the River Clyde, is bounded by the Union Line Railway to the South and East and Eglington Street to the West. Following stock transfer in 2003, a process of clearance and demolition ensued, adding to large areas of vacant and derelict land. The project will see the redevelopment of 13 hectares of vacant land with the delivery of up to 900 new homes
Early phases delivered 101 multi-award winning affordable housing for social rent by New Gorbals Housing Association. Southside HA completed the refurbishment of the former Linen Bank development in December 2019, including 6 MMR homes.
As part of a long-term private sector development partnership, Urban Union are in the final stages of completion on Phase 2 (200 units).
