WATER damage appears to have caused a green material to form on the side of a new development in Battlefield.
Pictures reveal the 'growth' on almost half of the facade on one of the new flat blocks at the Victoria Infirmary development.
A spokesperson for Sanctuary Homes, the developer behind the transformation project, told the Glasgow Times that the appearance of the brickwork was caused by a "weather-damaged gutter" and would be cleaned by a "specialist contractor" next week.
The gutter has since been repaired, the spokesperson said.
The Glasgow Times understands that a Building Standards officer from Glasgow City Council is expected to be in touch with the property developers to find out about the nature of the material.

We previously reported that real estate developer Cruden Building was awarded a £43.3 million contract to complete the second phase of the project in 2021.
The massive redevelopment of the former Victoria Infirmary, which closed in 2015, is expected to be completed by autumn 2023 with flats being sold by Beech Grove Homes, part of Sanctuary.
A spokesperson for Sanctuary Homes said: “A weather-damaged gutter that was causing water to splash onto the brickwork has now been repaired and a specialist contractor will be attending the site next week to clean the affected area.”
