The social housing development will be carried out by AS Homes (Scotland), working in partnership with Home Group, which will assume ownership and management of the development upon completion, which is programmed for winter 2023.

The sale of the 0.7-acre site, which once housed a now derelict gymnasium and swimming pool, was overseen by Graeme Todd of DM Hall who acted on behalf of the site’s owner, Rasul Group.

He said: “The Bellahouston Academy site has been transformed by our client, Rasul Group from a dilapidated former high school into a thriving business centre.

“The former annex, bounded by Paisley Road West, Clifford Street and North Gower Street, lies within an area with much to commend it, including proximity to a variety of retail facilities and good transport links via the M8 motorway network.”
