Built in the 1960s by Glasgow Corporation, the Red Road development was designed by Sam Bunton and Associates. The 20-acre site contained the highest multi-storey flats in Europe, consisting of six 31-storey blocks, two of 27-storeys and one of 3-storeys. By the 1980s the buildings had fallen into disrepair. Following renovation, they were converted into student accommodation, executive apartments and a YMCA.
