Peel Waters secures planning for Yorkhill Quay BTR and co-living

Waterfront regeneration specialist Peel Waters has received approval from Glasgow City Council for its Yorkhill Quay scheme.

The new scheme will deliver 1,100 homes across a mix of open market, Build to Rent and co-living units, alongside a 200-room hotel, commercial space and 2,500m² of land for recreational use.

The new Yorkhill Quay development will transform a currently neglected wasteland into a vibrant waterfront neighbourhood, connecting the west of Glasgow with the city centre.

New walking and cycling paths will be created along a new promenade along Yorkhill Quay, connecting the neighbourhoods in Partick and Finnieston, as well as the riverfront between the famous tourist attractions.

A series of ‘River Rooms’ and south-facing terraces overlooking the historic River Clyde have been designed to make the most of the riverbank, creating spaces for the public, improving access to nature and creating new outdoor spaces for discovery and play, whilst enhancing wellbeing.

Yorkhill Quay is located within the wider, emerging Glasgow Waters district of Peel Waters, which is already home to the award-winning Clydeside Distillery and the architecturally striking Riverside Museum.

The scheme also includes waterfront retail and leisure units running alongside the development, providing a variety of amenities and commercial opportunities for both independent and established businesses.

The design team working on Yorkhill Quay includes: Architects: Keppie Design, Landscape Architects: Oobe, Planners: McInally Associates, Project Management/QS: Turner & Townsend, Flood and Drainage Studies: Fairhurst, Transport and Transport: Dougall Baillie Associates, Legal: Pinsent Masons, Acoustic Valuation: Arup, Energy Statement: Henderson Warnock, Archaeological Investigation: Guard Archaeology and Daylight and Sunlight/Wind Surveys: GIA Chartered Surveyors.

“It is fantastic to see planning permission granted for this fantastic sustainable development at Glasgow Waters.

“Glasgow Waters is one of the largest and most exciting regeneration projects in Scotland and Yorkhill Quay will be a significant landmark development within it, delivering much-needed new homes, improved connectivity and infrastructure, whilst creating a pipeline of new jobs for our community.

“We now look forward to working with leading, innovative developers and specialists to transform this derelict wasteland site into a vibrant waterfront neighbourhood with a thriving community.”
