The former Scottish Power headquarters in Glasgow is to be converted into residential flats in a £40m project.
Property developer FM Group has lodged a detailed planning application for the Spean Street site in Cathcart with Glasgow Council’s planning department. The B-listed Cathcart House will be sensitively converted into 80 apartments over five levels with a central light well and amenity courtyard and new leisure and commercial outlets on the ground floor.
The adjacent office extension building will be refurbished to make way for 45 apartments over six levels with underground car parking and a feature garden terrace.
Jonathon Milne, director of FM Group, said: “These plans have been well received locally and we are excited about the potential for this development which will provide highly desirable, city living.
“FM Group has gained a reputation for refurbishing buildings into award-winning mixed-use projects.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
