H W the OPPORTUNITY Ruchill Hospital is one of the largest brownfield development sites to become available in Scotland in recent years. It offers developers an opportunity to participate in the regeneration of a site which will contribute to the renaissance of North Glasgow by providing a range of private housing, including apartments in refurbished Listed Buildings, to terracced, semi-detached and town houses.
The site enjoys unrestricted views to the south over the City, and to the Campsie Hills to the north. It includes extensive areas of established trees and shrubs which – together with large areas of open greenspace – will provide the site with a level of amenity rarely available to urban development opportunities.
The site can accommodate up to 300 units – less than 8 per acre, and including 66 apartments in existing buildings.
