City Treasurer formally opens Cadder Housing Association’s first new build housing development
The new housing supports the association’s mission to ‘improve the quality of life and living conditions of Cadder’s people and transforms the area at the gateway to the Cadder community’.
Cadder Housing Association has completed its first new build housing development on the site of the former St. Agnes Primary School at Tresta Road in Cadder, Glasgow.
The new housing supports the association’s mission to ‘improve the quality of life and living conditions of Cadder’s people and transforms the area at the gateway to the Cadder community’.
Councillor Allan Gow, City Treasurer, formally opened the development on Monday 15 April and commented on the high-quality development which complements the improvement in tenants’ home and on-going regeneration of Cadder.
The association’s contractor for the development, McTaggart Construction, has built 50 high-quality new properties of varying types and sizes that will provide new homes and meet the housing needs of applicants on the association’s housing list.
The development has been funded through a partnership between Glasgow City Council and Cadder Housing Association and contributes towards the Scottish Government’s goal to deliver 50,000 new homes by 2021. The total cost of the development is £5.9 million and Glasgow City Council has provided £3.7 million in housing association grant to complement the association’s funding of £2.3 million. The association’s contribution towards the development has been achieved through new borrowing from the bank of Scotland.
