DEVELOPER Platform has submitted a detailed planning application for a 500 apartment build-to-rent development on the banks of the Clyde in Glasgow.
Pending planning consent, which is anticipated at the end of 2018, Platform hopes to start construction of the apartments by the second quarter of 2019, with a scheduled completion date of summer 2021.
Designed in partnership with award-winning architect Keppie, the development forms part of a wider masterplan at the Clydeside Central Quay area, which also includes 300,000 sq ft of office space and a 150 room hotel.
Matt Willcock of Platform said: “Glasgow is thriving, and our new development aims to provide accommodation which meets the demands of its growing, highly-skilled and modern workforce. Build-to-rent is a rapidly growing concept around the UK and we’re proud to offer one of the first developments in Scotland. It’s a form of accommodation we expect to continue to see across the UK.”
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
