Planning permission has been granted for a former Arnold Clark branch in Glasgow Southside to be turned into 50 flats for social rent.
Developer AS Homes (Scotland) will deliver the homes on behalf of Southside Housing Association.
The Strathbungo site will be re-developed to create affordable flats and associated outdoor amenity spaces.
The developer is aiming for Gold Hybrid sustainability status by installing air source heat pumps and solar panels. Lower energy lighting will also be incorporated into each home.
Designed by architect Keppie Design, the development will comprise a mix of one, two and three-bedroom flats, including wheelchair accessible homes, set across four, five and six storey blocks. Some will also offer outdoor balcony space.
Work is due to start in April, with an expected completion date of April 2025.
Andy Geddes, technical director at AS Homes, said: “Receiving the green light for our new development on Pollokshaws Road marks a major milestone in our ongoing dedication to helping bridge the gap for affordable housing within our communities.
“This site shows great potential and its transformation will add a whole new lease of life to the surrounding area in Glasgow Southside.”
