Sale of Caledonia Road site confirmed

City Property Glasgow (Investments) LLP is pleased to confirm the recent sale of a development site on Caledonia Road, Baillieston to The JR Group.

The JR Group, one of Scotland’s largest construction firms, has submitted a planning application for a mix of one and two bedroom homes on behalf of Wheatley Group. The proposals submitted to Glasgow City Council aim to boost local housing supply and help address the City’s need for affordable housing.

Andrew Dallas, Projects Director for The JR Group, said:

“Our plans will deliver modern, energy-efficient affordable homes while revitalising an area that needs regeneration.

“As a Homes for Scotland member, we are committed to tackling the housing crisis both locally and nationally. We believe these homes will help meet local demand and support Glasgow City Council’s housing targets.

“It’s crucial to develop sites like this in well-connected, active communities.  We look forward to moving through the planning process and bringing this project to life.”

Frank McCafferty, Group Director of Assets and Development at Wheatley Group, said:

“As Scotland’s largest builder of social rented homes over the past decade, we are dedicated to increasing the supply of high-quality, energy-efficient homes in communities throughout the country.

“If our planning application is successful, these much-needed affordable homes in Baillieston will help address local housing needs.”

Jacqui Morton, Chartered Surveyor (Asset Management) at City Property, added:

“We are delighted to confirm the sale of the Caledonia Road site to The JR Group. This end use of this site for affordable housing, will bring a vacant site back into a productive use and help deliver a number of affordable homes in this area of the city. We look forward to hearing the outcome of the planning application and seeing the project progress over the coming months.”

If approved, construction is expected to begin in Autumn 2025.
