The proposal from development company Nixon Blue could see two new six-storey residential buildings raised at Beith Street in the Partick area.

The Glasgow-based company is hoping to invest around £8m in the Beith Street construction which will create 50 jobs for building and construction workers.

The principle of residential development of the land was approved by Glasgow City Council’s planning local review committee in December 2019, subject to completion of legal agreements.

Each new flat, if approved, will have two bedrooms and access to a private outdoor terrace space.

Plans include details to re-route and upgrade the existing cycle path along the expressway and the area will soon be transformed by the construction of a new ridge for cyclists and pedestrians connecting Partick and Govan.

Each six-storey building will be similar in scale to the existing tenement flats and modern housing developments in the area.

Colin McIntyre, director of Nixon Blue, said: “The designs are in keeping with the scale and mass of Beith Street housing and the surrounding tenement buildings.

“As a popular residential area, we want the new apartments to support the regeneration of the Clydeside as the new Govan/Partick Bridge will greatly link the city and its residents.

“Redeveloping on this site will support, connect and reinforce this area of Partick as a vibrant residential area.”
