Plans have been submitted for more than 500 new homes in a major waterfront development that could transform part of Glasgow's River Clyde.

Peel Waters and national developer Urban Pulse have lodged proposals for the first residential phase at Yorkhill Quay.

If approved, the £100 million co-living scheme will deliver 526 homes as part of the wider Glasgow Waters regeneration project.

Designed by Anomaly Architects, the development will feature stepped waterfront towers with shared terraces overlooking the River Clyde.

Ground-floor space has been earmarked for retail, leisure and community uses, alongside a covered riverside colonnade intended to connect residents and visitors.

The proposals also include landscaped communal areas and shared facilities designed to encourage community living.

The application follows outline planning permission granted by Glasgow City Council in 2024 for the wider Yorkhill Quay masterplan.

That project aims to deliver around 1,100 homes alongside shops, leisure facilities and new public spaces.

Infrastructure works worth £3.75 million are already under way, including the construction of a 400-metre waterfront promenade linking the Riverside Museum with The Clydeside Distillery.

Yorkhill Quay forms part of the 13-acre Glasgow Waters masterplan, which aims to regenerate former brownfield land into a new mixed-use riverside neighbourhood.



James Whittaker, managing director of Peel Waters, said: "Submitting plans for the first homes at Yorkhill Quay is a hugely significant moment for Glasgow Waters.

"It brings our vision for this part of the River Clyde a step closer to reality and demonstrates the strong momentum now building across our emerging new district."

James Paterson, director at Urban Pulse, said: "We are excited to submit plans for our co-living development at Yorkhill Quay, which we believe will set a new benchmark for this type of living in Glasgow.

"Our vision is to create a high-quality, design-led scheme that not only provides much-needed homes but also fosters a strong sense of community through generous shared spaces, amenity and a close relationship with the surrounding waterfront.

"This will be the first location in Glasgow where you can live, work and play on the waterside, which makes this a truly unique and exciting opportunity."
