Southside Housing Association to Transform Former Police Station into new homes for social rent.
We are delighted to announce that we have received all necessary statutory consents to convert the former police station at 86 Craigie Street, Strathbungo into much-needed social housing.
The building was acquired from Police Scotland two years ago, and the Association has since been working to secure funding and planning approvals to repurpose the site.
The conversion will deliver three high-quality homes for social rent, helping to meet the growing demand for affordable housing in the area.
This exciting development has been made possible thanks to grant funding from Glasgow City Council, the Association’s principal funding partner. Their support will contribute significantly to the conversion costs and ensure the delivery of sustainable, community-focused housing.
The construction contract has been awarded to CCG (Scotland) Ltd, a leading Glasgow-based construction and manufacturing company with a strong track record in delivering affordable housing across the city.
Paul McVey, Chief Executive of Southside Housing Association, said: “We’re thrilled to be repurposing this historic building to provide new homes for people who need them most.
This project is a great example of how we can creatively use existing spaces to meet housing needs and strengthen our communities. We’re grateful for the support from Glasgow City Council and look forward to welcoming new tenants in the near future.”
Councillor Ruairi Kelly, City Convener for Housing, Development and Built Heritage at Glasgow City Council, said: “The council is working with our partners to find new and creative ways of building homes in the city, and this is a great example of that approach, and one that we were delighted to have supported. The conversion of this former police station not only creates three much-needed homes for social rent but brings a historic building in Strathbungo back to life.”
Works commenced on 20th October 2025, with completion anticipated in the coming months.
