 |
|
A MASSIVE housing development on the old home of Glasgow's meat market is
a step closer.
Councillors have agreed to sell the former abattoir site in Bellgrove Street in the
East End to a city developer for more than £30million.
Dawn Group, which has a 50% stake in Ayr racecourse, wants to build 385 homes
and a major new public square on the 51 acre site. The Glasgow-based firm also
plans improvements to Bellgrove station which overlooks the land.
All that remains on the site are some B listed former market sheds after the
building was bulldozed two years ago when it was badly damaged in a fire.
The Calton abattoir dates from the 1980s when the meat market in Gallowgate
closed.

AN area of derelict ground in the East End of Glasgow is to be transformed
into a £200million housing development.
Last week the city council agreed to sell a huge site bordered by Bellgrove Street
and Duke Street to Glasgow-based Dawn Developments for £30million.
Company managing director Alan Macdonald today unveiled the firm's plans
for the land which was once the site of Glasgow's former meat market.
Company bosses decided they wanted a design which was different to anything
else available in the city and as part of their research travelled to villages in Bavaria.
Today Mr Macdonald revealed they had come up with a development with 585
homes - not 385 as previously thought - from affordable housing and one-bedroom
flats to townhouses.
They will all have individual back court gardens and the houses will be interspersed
by dramatic water features.
