Blythswood apartment block gets green light
A block of six flats is to be developed on a gap site in the Blythswood area of Glasgow city centre.
Videre Developments teamed up with Axis Mason Architects to submit the proposals for a site at the junction of Sauchiehall Lane and Blythswood Street earlier this year.
The application, which also included the provision of a private gym, has now been approved by the local authority.
A design statement included with planning documents explained: “The ambition is to create a thriving, vibrant place where people want to live.
“The upper levels of the development will provide six homes and a key priority for Videre is to ensure that these homes will offer a better choice and quality of urban living.
“Each apartment will be dual aspect, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, for four persons.”
It added: “Five of the apartments will be provided with a private external amenity space. The top floor apartment has the benefit of having direct access to the roof level and a large private terrace.
“Each apartment has a large open plan living space, offering flexible layouts and opportunity to create a home working area.
“Residents’ amenity space is also provided at the ground floor in the form of a gym.”
