The first images of a new residential development in Glasgow's southside have been released by Cala Homes.
A planning proposal for 277 apartments, landscaping, and associated amenities at The Foundry site in Cathcart have been lodged with the council.
The housebuilders will invest £67m into the site, which will secure over 1,000 jobs during the construction period.

Moray Stewart, Land Director at Cala Homes (West) said: “The submission of the planning application is a considerable milestone for the team who have been working to bring the Cathcart vision to life for many months now.
“We know there is significant demand in the southside for quality, sustainable housing and we are confident that our proposed development meets these requirements.
“The site proposal has considered green space, biodiversity and connectivity to the surrounding area as well as sustainability measures including new, inclusive pedestrian and cycle pathways, improvements to the local road network, and infrastructure to enable electric vehicle charging.
“We will work alongside current landowners, Celeros FT, to transform this current brownfield site into a vibrant new community – not only to reinforce our commitment to bringing sustainable homes to local people, but also to stimulate localised growth and investment across Scotland over the next 25 years.”
The site is currently owned by American-headquartered business Celeros FT and was previously used by its ClydeUnion Pumps. The development will provide more green space to the neighbourhood, with valuable landscaped gardens that include play areas and seating.
Stewart McDonald MP, Glasgow South, said: “I welcome Cala and Celeros’ plan to invest millions of pounds in the area, which would not only deliver an additional economic boost but also secure thousands of jobs locally.
“Celeros FT already has over 140 years of heritage in the Southside, with ClydeUnion Pumps Cathcart being a strategic supplier in supporting Energy Transition and Security, in many cases offering single source be-spoke solutions, and further support in local assets from this established employer will be more than welcome.
“Investment not only offers opportunity for local business continuity, but also employee security and growth for key Glasgow South businesses and the local supply chain for the foreseeable future.”
