An 88-unit housing development on a key regeneration site in Clydebank has scooped a national award.
The Council’s Clydebank East development, which welcomed its first tenants last year, beat competition from nine other projects across the country to be named Affordable Housing Development of the Year at The Herald Property Awards for Scotland 2025.
The prestigious awards honour innovation and excellence across Scotland’s residential and commercial property sectors. This year, more than 120 entries were submitted, with judges visiting shortlisted developments to assess quality, impact and innovation. Clydebank East was one of ten finalists in its category.
During the process, judges visited a five-bedroom house within the development and heard from the tenant how life changing the spacious house was to her and her young family.
The development, located on the former industrial site at Clydebank East, comprises 88 high-quality homes ranging from one-bedroom flats to five-bedroom properties including homes suitable for families with additional needs.
It is the Council’s first Net Zero Ready housing initiative and is a flagship example of urban regeneration, combining sustainable design with placemaking to create a vibrant new community. The project supports the Council’s transition to net zero while directly addressing the housing emergency.
Councillor Gurpreet Singh Johal, Convener of Housing and Communities, said: “I am absolutely delighted and proud that the Council has been recognised nationally with this award. The Clydebank East development represents the Council’s commitment to building sustainable, inclusive communities and meeting the changing needs of our residents with a wide range of properties available.”
Councillor Hazel Sorrell, Vice Convener of Housing and Communities, added: “Clydebank East has transformed a disused site into a neighbourhood which is delivering for a range of tenants. This recognition reflects the hard work involved in developing homes that are suitable for tenants. Well done to everyone who has made this site a success and this award possible.”
