Developers were tasked with creating of a mixture of accommodation size and type determined by local demand for new housing.
The end result includes 39 flats, one maisonette and twelve houses, with parking and play areas.
The properties will range from one to five bedroom homes, with five units specifically designed to accommodate wheelchair users.
A design statement issued by Anderson Bell Christie Architects, says: "Situated at the edge of the Barrowfield – Camlachie area, it is one of the few remaining undeveloped areas of land within the community which has been regenerated over the past 15 years.
"Within the city development plan the site is identified as potential land for residential use."
It adds: "The site has been largely unoccupied for at least 35 years having previously been the site of clothing and weaving factories, although no evidence of these previous uses remains on the site.

"Currently the site is formed of predominantly grassland with a number of trees and shrubs close to the perimeter.
"At present the only built form on the site is a makeshift pigeon doocot which will be removed by its owner prior to works commencing on site."
The block of flats will have four separate closes, three of which will be four storeys with the southernmost close being six storeys, acting as a landmark signifying the gateway into the Barrowfield/Camlachie community.
Glasgow City Council gave permission for the build to go-ahead with conditions.
