DROP-IN information events are taking place about the first phase of Glasgow’s active travel network

Glasgow City Council says its City Network will deliver high-quality, segregated cycleways and improved pedestrian infrastructure across Glasgow.

The first phase (Inner North and South) will create around 56.5km of active travel routes.

Inner North stretches from Riddrie, through Royston, part of Dennistoun, Sighthill, Springburn and Possilpark to Ruchhill.

South will include Queen’s Park, Pollokshields, Shawlands, and Cathcart.

Property development finance in Scotland: For projects from £750,000 to circa £50,000,000, this facility is typically for the purchase and ground up development costs of new build residential projects, large residential refurbishment projects or commercial projects with the loan repayment coming from the sale proceeds or re-financing to a term loan.

Bridging Finance in Scotland: This facility is typically used for projects ranging from £50,000 to £3,000,000, covering purchase and development costs of anything from one-bedroom flats to large commercial-to-residential conversions, as well as smaller new build developments like a single detached house or gap site projects of 6–12 flats.

Build to Rent Development Finance: Build to rent projects are gaining traction, with this facility funding projects from £750,000 to £50,000,000, typically for large-scale refurbishments and new build residential flats. The development finance transitions to a long-term commercial mortgage upon completion.

Development Exit Finance: Development exit finance comes into play when a project is nearing completion and awaiting sales or refinancing to complete. It repays the development finance and is typically at a lower interest rate, allowing developers to access profits or raise capital for future projects.
