Construction Trends in North Lanarkshire
North Lanarkshire's New Supply Programme aims to deliver 6,000 new affordable homes by 2035, with around 256 homes expected to complete in 2026/27 and a further 340 due to start construction. In Coatbridge, two major projects are bringing more than 220 new homes, while Motherwell's proposed Brandon Street development would add 44 homes on the former Centre Point site, and Bellshill has already delivered 26 homes at Thorn Road on the site of the former Miners Welfare Club. Almost 2,400 further homes are proposed in the council's five-year Strategic Housing Investment Plan. Away from these schemes, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions on inter-war and post-war housing.
