A major milestone has been reached at the Laurieston Living development in the Gorbals area of Glasgow after the official opening of the first new flatted block of homes.
The first residents have now moved into the apartments with developer Urban Union due to hand over more in the coming days.

To mark the landmark moment, representatives of Urban Union were joined by Heart Scotland presenter Lynne Hoggan for a ceremonial ribbon cutting.
A total of 173 private for sale homes are being built in Phase 2, with the new development expected to complete by early 2021.
Kirsty Parry, sales & marketing manager at Urban Union, said: “Laurieston Living has been a hugely successful development since first launching several years ago and it is going from strength to strength.
“We were absolutely delighted to officially open the new phase with the help of Lynne and it is great to see that so many people are already settling into their new homes.”
