Soller Group has received planning consent for Dundas Square, a 357-apartment private rental development in the Cowcaddens district of Glasgow.
Designed by Mosaic Architecture + Design, with a mix of studio, one and two-bedroom homes, the building will also feature roof terraces, a residents’ gym, a retail unit and both co-working and office space.
Currently a vacant site, 144 Port Dundas Road sits to the north of the city centre, looking onto Port Dundas Road and Milton Street.
Nick Treadaway, founder and chief executive of Soller Group, said: “We’re very pleased that Glasgow City Council has given the green light to our development, of which we are very proud, and which will bring a vacant site back to life in an area seeing considerable inward investment and regeneration.“
Neil Haining, director of Mosaic, said: “Dundas Square will be a pedestrian-friendly courtyard development, with daylight illuminating the central public square and a landscaped plaza from Port Dundas Road.”
JLL has been mandated to secure a funding partner for the scheme.
Alice Smith Hilliard, of the firm's living capital markets team, said: “It’s imperative to bring new homes to Glasgow’s supply starved market, with buy-to-let landlords leaving in droves and fewer people able to afford a mortgage.”
Soller Group has already completed a 301-bed student accommodation building in Glasgow city centre, now let to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and also recently received planning for the second phase of its Carrick Square office development.
