Peel Waters is the company behind proposed waterfront developments in either side of the Riverside Museum.
One is for housing, the other a leisure facility.
Between the Clydeside Distillery and the museum, land at the old Yorkhill Quay has permission for a major residential development.
Peel Waters plans to build more than 1000 homes for co-living, for sale and build-to-rent with a 200-bed hotel and leisure plot and will include a publicly accessible riverside walkway.
We asked Peel for an update on the plan.
A spokesperson for Peel Waters, said: “We have developers identified for four of the five plots and all are in various stages of the legal process.
“We are required to submit a ‘Reserved Matters’ applications for detailed design of the public realm areas and to deal with several site wide strategies – these were all submitted to GCC planning in December 2024 and we await consent.”
Major preparatory works are needed before the housing can be built.
Peel added: “We require to undertake infrastructure works to create a riverside walkway, provide drainage connections and rework the road network at the Riverside Museum prior to the development taking place.
“We expect to be on-site later this year undertaking these advanced works.”
At Castlebank Street beside Glasgow Harbour, the latest plans are for an ambitious waterpark and spa resort.
It promises "thermal pools, spas, steam and sauna experiences within the health and wellbeing resort".
The site is still unoccupied but Peel Waters said the project is also expected to move forward later this year.
A spokesperson said: “At the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Peel Waters signed heads of terms with Therme Group, a global developer and operator of state-of-the-art wellbeing destinations, for the location of its second UK project which will also be within our Glasgow Waters district.
“Therme Scotland, will be around 320,000 sq ft in size, completely transforming Castlebank Quay and we are working closely with Therme Group to move forward with the project later this year.”
Across the water, the Govan Graving Docks, derelict for 40 years, are also the subject of a big plan for housing heritage and leisure.
New City Vision are developing a ship repair facility and plans for residential development will help fund wider urban riverside park and visitor centre.
When planning was applied for in November, Harry O’Donnell, chairman of New City Vision, said: “The plans to create a new riverside destination, via a new publicly owned open space, have been designed to bring activity, vibrancy and vitality back to this derelict site. This project is central to the broader vision, which includes several complementary elements to reconnect the people of Govan and Glasgow with the Docks once more.
In the city centre the council has started on plans that are intended to incentivise development at Custom House Quay and Carlton Place.
The council said: “This will deliver new amenity space for the city in the form of a fully accessible urban park – a River Park – with enhanced green space, high quality public realm and enhanced connectivity along the river edge.”
Glasgow’s riverside has been the scene of dramatic changes over the decades as the city moved from a working river to one where residential, entertainment and business developments replaced shipyards and docks.
The work is not complete, as years 40 years after the SEC and 20 years after Glasgow Harbour large plots of land remain awaiting a new lease of life.
Along the length of the river from Inverclyde to South Lanarkshire there is enough vacant and derelict land to build the entire SEC campus 15 times.
Much of it needs remediation work before developers can be engaged.
Plans at various sites exist at different stages.
Since the SEC was built on the old King George v dock, hotels homes, the Science Centre and a media village have followed.
The new Clydeside Distillery and the Riverside Museum have opened and the new Govan to Partick bridge is intended to be the catalyst for the next stage.
