The main contractor of a major Glasgow affordable housing development has hailed the project's "high-quality, energy efficient homes".
The major waterside development is part of a wider city regeneration plan.
CCG (Scotland) Ltd also hailed its role in the proposal after it was revealed last week that detailed plans have been submitted to deliver 92 affordable homes at Water Row in Govan for the Govan Housing Association project.

The Glasgow business said: "Led by Govan Housing Association and supported by Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government, the development forms part of a major masterplan to regenerate the city’s waterfront with Water Row delivering high-quality, energy efficient homes, commercial premises and public realm as well as integrating with the forthcoming Govan-Partick pedestrian bridge that is set for construction in 2022."
It added: “As main contractor, we look forward to working with our partners in what is another major milestone for regeneration in Govan and the city of Glasgow.”
Collective Architecture said in a statement submitted to the Glasgow City Council planning department that Water Row is “one of the most exciting development sites in Glasgow”.
It stated: “Successive planning documents and studies over the last decade acknowledge the site’s pivotal role in determining both the upward trajectory of Govan’s recovery and the inspiring transformation of the city’s waterfront.”
