Tenants have now moved into the 27 homes at Landressy Place in Bridgeton following the completion of the development.

This week, Thenue chair Pauline Casey and chief executive Gary Naylor paid a visit to the flats to welcome one of the new residents – Margaret Shreenan. Margaret has moved to the city from Dumfries where she lived for 40 years to be nearer her family. Her brother lives in nearby Dalmarnock and she is a former tenant of Irvine Housing Association.

She described her apartment as “the ideal choice and a lovely new home” coming as it does with a spacious patio and access to a grassy central courtyard which all tenants can make use of and which all properties overlook.

Margaret Shreenan said: “My new flat is fabulous - it is so warm and comfortable and has everything I need. I spent many years in Dumfries but the time had come to move to be nearer my brother. I couldn’t wish for lovelier home.”

Thenue acknowledged the financial support of Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government in helping to fund the development. Thenue overcame a major obstacle in the early stages of the development when the original contractor went into liquidation soon after work began.

It successfully sourced another contractor and work restarted resulting in completion of the £5 million development by McLaughlin Construction earlier this year.

Gary Naylor said: “This is another important development for Thenue as we continue to deliver on our promise to create excellent housing in the communities we serve. It is great to see our retirement residents settle into their new homes and undoubtedly the 27 flats will be welcomed by the local community.”
