David Wylie, managing director of CCG (Scotland), said: "Despite the challenging nature of the site, our contract team has done an excellent job, and I am delighted with the progress made to date.
'Key to our success - on this site and others like it - is the integration of our in-house expertise.
"Our core main construction and manufacturing divisions work seamlessly with our building services and utilities contractors, as well as our joinery, plumbing and flooring teams, to offer a comprehensive, one-stop-shop approach to delivery.
"I give thanks to our much-valued design team members Holmes Miller, Cowal Design, Design Me, and CRGP for their continued support, and look forward to seeing how the development progresses over the coming months."
Morrison Community Care Group, one of the UK's leading care home developers, has operated as a developer since 2017 and formed a joint venture with CCG in 2021 under the name Morrison Community Care (CCG) Holdco Ltd.
The Anniesland care home is located on Anniesland Road, beside the Yarrow Recreation Club, and forms part of the group's strategy to address growing demand for elderly care.
Each new facility is designed to provide residential, nursing, and dementia care in a purpose-built environment.
Amenities at the Anniesland home will include en-suite bedrooms, dining rooms with professionally prepared meals, a cinema room, hair salon, champagne bar, visitor café, and landscaped gardens.

Paul Sokhi, managing director of Morrison Community Care Group, said: "Morrison Community Care began its journey in Anniesland.
"Our very first care home opened on Anniesland Road in 1988, not far from where we are now, and over a 20-year period, we formed a strong and lasting relationship with the local community.
"It is hugely significant that we are back where it all started.
"It serves as a reminder of where we have come from, however, the nature of our return is evidence that the challenges that faced this community four decades ago not only remain but have become even more deeply rooted."
Mr Sokhi highlighted the ongoing shortage of care home beds and carers, noting the impact on the wider health system.
He said: "Like many areas across Scotland, Anniesland is experiencing a growing ageing population, yet continues to struggle to meet localised demand with a shortage of care home beds and carers, adding to the pressure on our already overburdened NHS."

Glasgow company CCG named Homebuilder of the Year 2025
CCG, based in Glasgow, won both the Homebuilder of the Year (Affordable Housing Provider) and Affordable Housing Development of the Year (Medium) at the Homes for Scotland Awards 2025. The second award was for the Water Row development in partnership with Govan Housing Group. Read more: Event to explore the history of one of Scotland's largest steelworks CCG has a significant focus on affordable housebuilding, with 1,200 affordable homes currently being constructed across the Central Belt. The company, which employs more than 630 staff members, including 48 apprentices, aims to foster quality, innovation, and social impact in delivering affordable homes. An important component of their strategy is the use of advanced construction methods and low-carbon technologies to address housing needs, combat fuel poverty, and help Scotland achieve net zero. David Wylie, managing director of CCG, said: "Being named Homebuilder of the Year is a tremendous honour and a testament to the dedication and talent of our 630-strong team. "What's particularly heartening is the strength of our culture being embraced across the company - especially by the growing number of younger colleagues, who are already becoming the backbone of our future. "Our people, along with our much-valued clients and delivery partners, have shown incredible resilience through a challenging year for the sector, with public sector budget cuts and inflationary pressures making it increasingly difficult to keep affordable homes affordable. "However, through close collaboration with our clients and early-stage contractor involvement, we've been able to better control costs and mitigate external risks - proving that this model delivers results. 'More clients are placing their trust in CCG to lead projects from the outset, and while we know more must be done to address the housing emergency, we're confident that we're on the right path – powered by the commitment and passion of our people.' The Water Row development, which earned CCG its second award, was completed in May 2024. It features 92 mid-market rental homes and 6 community-focused commercial spaces.

The project occupies a key site along the River Clyde, adjacent to the Govan-Partick bridge. David said: "Water Row has not only delivered much-needed, energy-efficient housing in Govan but has also helped reconnect communities, support local enterprise and leave a lasting legacy of regeneration. "The award is a reflection of partnership working and CCG's deep commitment to delivering better homes, stronger communities, and a more sustainable future for Scotland."
