Ambassador Group wants to refurbish and renovate Granite House, on the corner of Trongate and Stockwell Street.

Under plans designed by Mosaic Architecture + Design, 289 cluster and studio apartments will be provided over five upper floors.

Existing ground floor retail units would get new uniformed shop frontages. A landscaped rooftop amenity space would be formed and a central portion of the building would be removed to create a new courtyard.

A design document submitted with the planning application asserts: “This offers a positive redevelopment opportunity in an underutilized building within an urban setting which requires reinvigorating.”
