Fresh Thinking – New Build Estates in Glasgow That Put People First
There’s a quiet transformation happening just south of the River Clyde, and if you’ve been anywhere near the Gorbals recently, you’ve probably noticed it. Laurieston Living, Urban Union’s award winning development, is part of a growing trend: new build estates in Glasgow that don’t just deliver homes, they build communities with walkable streets, modern living, and long-term value.
So, if you’ve been trawling through listings for something modern, central, and energy-efficient… let’s take a walk through Laurieston.
The Essentials (And the Extras)
Let’s get right to the point. Laurieston Living’s latest phase is now selling, offering a fresh collection of one and two-bedroom apartments. Each home is designed for low maintenance, with great insulation and modern finishes that tick the energy-efficiency box.
More than that, each property is built to reflect real lifestyles, from flexible layouts that accommodate working from home to thoughtful storage and high-quality fittings.
Some of the apartment styles you can choose from include:
- The McCabe – A compact, smartly designed one-bedroom apartment
- The Sheenin, Gillan, and Muirhead – A range of two-bedroom apartments with differing layouts
- The Ingram – A bright, corner-positioned two bedroom ideal for natural light lovers
While all larger homes are now sold, these remaining apartments still offer the perfect opportunity to put down roots in one of the city’s most connected postcodes.
What It’s Really Like Living Here
- Location perks? You’re within walking distance to the city centre, plus there’s a dedicated cycle lane right outside the development that leads straight into town.
- Need green space? While Laurieston doesn’t have a traditional park, you’ll find Linear Park right in the centre of the development, a peaceful green area perfect for catching your breath.
- Looking for connection? Bus routes, rail links and motorway access are all close by, making the commute simple, wherever you’re headed.
