Summary
- Former Clydesdale Steelworks site in Bellshill to host 97 new homes.

- Project revitalizes brownfield land for family housing and regional growth.
The former Clydesdale Steelworks site in Bellshill, Lanarkshire, a brownfield location closed in 1991, is set for a major transformation. Miller Homes Scotland West will develop 97 energy-efficient homes for families on the 88.5-acre site, to be known as Hawthorn Green. This significant regeneration project is part of a broader initiative to introduce more than 430 family homes to the area.
Site preparation is scheduled to begin this month, with construction slated to start next year. The first residents are anticipated to move into their new homes in early 2027. This development marks Miller Homes' third project in North Lanarkshire and second in Bellshill, highlighting a commitment to addressing the growing demand for quality housing.
Andrew McArthur, regional operations director at Miller Homes Scotland West, expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating it is a crucial step in meeting housing needs and fostering regional growth. The Hawthorn Green community is designed to be a thoughtfully developed residential area, contributing positively to the area's long-term development.
