Construction Trends in Inverclyde
Greenock is in the middle of major transformation, with the Central Greenock redevelopment beginning with the demolition of Hector McNeil House and the Oak Mall's eastern section, followed by new road infrastructure to replace the A78 flyover and Bullring Roundabout, unlocking a further 20 million pound Plans for Neighbourhoods project. Sanctuary Scotland has already handed over 64 new affordable homes at Duncan Street, backed by a 6.9 million pound Scottish Government grant, and the council has approved plans in principle for up to 135 new homes at Clune Park. Away from these schemes, Gourock and Port Glasgow keep a strong stock of Victorian tenements, generating a steady flow of extensions and refurbishments.
