Glasgow Harbour is a major city centre waterfront regeneration project
and CALA has been at the forefront of the 1st phase of the project,
with the provision of a contemporary high rise development.
The Glasgow Harbour project is a mixed use
development on approximately 42 hectares
(103 acres) of land on the north side of the River
Clyde.
The land was formally docks and association
warehousing. Overall the site has the physical capacity
to accommodate up to 3000 units. The first phase
included the development of circa 625 units and
involved two other developers working alongside
CALA.

Project team include:
- Working very closely with Glasgow Harbour
Limited and 2 other developers in phase 1 to
establish a product brand and involvement in
a high profile marketing campaign.
- Development of a brownfield site within close
proximity of the River Clyde.
- Development of a large volume of flatted units
(173) on a 1.3 acre site.
- Compliance with strict development and design

for a unique development within a reasonable time
period.
