The developers behind the Shawlands Arcade regeneration have been accused of ignoring the needs of the community in favour of profit.
Living Rent Glasgow has said current plans to create retail units and hundreds of new homes fails to address the lack of affordable housing in the area.
They believe that the development will further contribute to the rent crisis being faced by its members.
The Arcade was originally built in the 1960s and is a well-known landmark of the south side.
Over £68 million of investment is set to be put into regenerating it with the new homes and businesses generating an additional £1m in council tax and business rates income per year.
Following an initial announcement of plans, developers then updated them following meetings with the community.
They went on to add a new public space and gardens into the proposals. They said that the changes 'reflect community wishes for high-quality European style spaces that both locals and visitors can use'.
Living Rent Glasgow has said they will continue to organise to stop the development if further changes aren't made.
They said: "Members of Shawlands/Langside branch of Living Rent continue to oppose the redevelopment of the arcade as it does not include any social housing or family-oriented homes which are desperately needed for our neighbourhood.
"We are calling Glasgow City Council to introduce a minimum requirement of a 25% social housing element to any new building. This is a policy which the SNP and the Greens councillors from the Pollokshields Ward have pledged to push to see happen.
"During both rent and cost of living crises, it seems unfathomable that developers want to create luxury apartments which will not cater for families or the local community. Such development will contribute to ever-rising rents in the area and ultimately force working-class people to move out of Shawlands.
"We want to ensure that any businesses in the retail element of plans will retain low budget food and essentials shops as we are many already struggling to make ends meet.
"Shawlands currently has no indoor community space. As such, we also want to ensure that indoor public space is included in the development and accessible to all. Any redevelopment should be for the people of Shawlands and surrounding communities, and not for merely for the pockets of developers, who do not care about the challenges residents currently face.
"If the only changes involve ‘European style spaces’, then Living Rent members will continue to organise to stop this development."

Commenting on the plans, Neal Jamieson, Director of Ediston Real Estate said: “The aim of GCC’s Housing Strategy is increased housing choice, quality and value, with improved access to all types of housing and our proposals deliver this.
“Glasgow City Council doesn’t use planning policy to deliver affordable homes - rather it uses its housing policy. This means it doesn’t require affordable homes to be built as part of new housing developments.
"Instead, the Council works with housing associations to deliver its programme of new affordable homes across the City. This will be facilitated by a record funding award from the Scottish Govt of £120million for nearly 1,500 new affordable homes.”
