The teams are:
• Broadway Malyan Consortium led by Broadway Malyan with Arup, Drivers Jonas and regeneration company New City Vision.
• City Legacy Consortium led by Davis Langdon with architect RMJM, developers Cruden Estates and McTaggart & Mickel, and contractors Citybuilding and CCG.
• Gladedale Consortium led by Gladedale with Bellway Homes and Citta Property Group, the Australian developer which built the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.
• The PPD Consortium led by local developer Charles Price with Mace, Caledonian Building, Woogar Hunter, DTZ, and Ian Simpson Architects, Reiach and Hall Architects, Elder and Cannon Architects, Nord Architecture, and Murray Dunlop Architects.

The four consortia were officially ratified by Glasgow City Council this morning and will now begin a competitive dialogue process for the top job.

The four will be whittled down to two by the end of the year, with a successful team chosen by summer 2009.

Around 70 firms submitted expressions of interest earlier this year when the project was announced.

The Commonwealth Games village will include up to 1,500 homes which will house 8,000 athletes during the 2014 Games, and provide a mixture of private and affordable homes after the Games end.
