The Hamiltonhill Development
The Hamiltonhill Development is Queens Cross Housing Association’s contribution to the Glasgow Canal Regeneration Partnership, which is a partnership between Glasgow City Council, Scottish Canals and other local agencies to deliver the Canal Action Plan, a new vision of the northwest of Glasgow.
The development will see around 670 new homes built, providing a mix of low-rise flats and terraced housing, with over 350 for sale and 320 for social rent spread through the neighbourhood. The full development will take around 12 years to build.
These new homes range in size from one bedroom flats to larger family houses with up to four bedrooms. New local parks have been created, bringing attractive open, green spaces and play parks to the area.
More information about the development and it's progress can be found on the Queens Cross Housing Association website.
Phase One – 2025
The first phase of the development includes 178 properties for social rent. The table below shows the property types and sizes that will become available, in stages, throughout 2025:

Allocating the Properties
We are operating a Local Letting Initiative (LLI) for Hamiltonhill which prioritises transferring Queens Cross tenants who have demonstrated that they can sustain a tenancy and applicants who have a local connection to the area. We will allocate all properties in line with our Allocation Policy, which prioritises applicants who are in the greatest housing need and are eligible for the property size and type available. The LLI will operate alongside this. We consulted on the use of an LLI for Hamiltonhill in April 2024 and 74% of respondents were in favour of this. The LLI was approved by our Board in May 2024. A copy of the LLI can be viewed here.
Some of the properties in the development have been designed for applicants who have disabilities or poor mobility. We will prioritise applicants who would use these features when allocating these homes.
