NEW YORK: The sixteenth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
The urban regeneration of Laurieston, Glasgow, has been named Best Regeneration Project at the 2015 National Brick Awards.
The awards are in their 39th year and celebrate excellence in design and construction using brick. They are the most well established and most widely respected of their kind in the UK.
The Laurieston development was recognised as an immensely successful example of high quality social housing. The judging panel described Urban Union’s work as a shining example on how to regenerate an area and said they felt that this project had transformed the local area.
The £100 million regeneration project in Laurieston is being delivered through an innovative partnership involving Glasgow City Council’s special purpose regeneration vehicle Transforming Communities: Glasgow, New Gorbals Housing Association and developer Urban Union.
