Upon entering the competition participants were entered into a draw to win a night at the Citizen’s Theatre and a meal for two in a city restaurant, with a winner selected and set to enjoy a night on the town.

Neil McKay, managing director at Urban Union, said: “Regeneration is all about building new communities and that is already happening at Laurieston – but we also wanted to find a way to honour the history of the area.

“We received a great response from the public and look forward to unveiling The Kelly and The Crerand – as well as the other 17 homes – when the next phase of homes at Laurieston go on sale later this year.”

In the first phase at the Laurieston Living development, a total of 240 affordable homes were delivered for New Gorbals Housing Association (NGHA), together with 69 private for sale properties. A further 55 affordable homes are currently being constructed for NGHA.

The second phase will see 173 private homes built, with the first residents expected to move in from next summer and the development expected to be complete by 2021.
