Crown Street Phases 5 & 6 are the final phases of the critically acclaimed New Gorbals redevelopment in conjunction with Redrow Homes. Comprising a total of 203 town houses, flats and duplex apartments, this completion of the New Gorbals masterplan follows on from the success of Hypostyle’s earlier Phase 2B development.

This development has a balanced contemporary feel in form, materials and scale. At the South West junction of Caledonia Road and Cathcart Road, two arterial roads into Glasgow City Centre, the massing rises up each side of twin stone towers to a larger scale befitting a major city gateway. This gateway status is further enhanced wit the incorporation of one of the city’s largest new civic artworks ‘the Gatekeeper’ by artist group Heisenberg.

Design Description
The Crown Street project is a 18 ha predominantly residential mixed-use scheme in Gorbals. After more than ten years of construction on site, it is nearing completion. There are mainly four-storey urban blocks of mixed tenure housing around shared communal gardens. Wide boulevards link neighbouring communities east to west across the scheme and bring them to the narrower Crown Street, the principal shopping street of the area, which runs from north to south.
The Crown Street Masterplan, which was designed by CZWG after a competition, envisaged a substantially higher building at the north end of Crown Street which was to act as a landmark for the regenerated area. In townscape terms it placed an urban buffer that rationalised the swing of Laurieston Road to the east and also announced the change in status of the road south from multi lane dual carriageway to two way shopping street.
The final piece of the masterplan jigsaw is the triangular block defined by Laurieston Road, Crown Street and Errol Gardens to the south.
