Westpoint Homes completes acquisition of former Glasgow police station
Westpoint Homes is to progress with its plans to replace a redundant Glasgow police station with a residential block following the sale of the site.
The developer wants to deliver a five/six-storey block of 62 flats, a mixture of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with six commercial units on the ground floor at the former Cranstonhill Police Station in Finnieston.
The plans were granted planning permission subject to conditions last year.
Acting on behalf of Police Scotland, Shepherd Chartered Surveyors has now secured the sale of the station to Westpoint Homes.
Steve Barnett, managing partner at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, said: “Following much interest from a range of hotel and residential developers, we are delighted to secure the sale of this site to Westpoint Homes on behalf of Police Scotland and look forward to seeing this prime mixed-use site being redeveloped over the coming months.”
David Mawhinney, development director at Westpoint Homes said: “Having obtained a successful planning consent for our proposed development, we are delighted to have now completed the purchase of Cranstonhill Police Station.
“This development will create a prominent gateway to Finnieston from the city, with a landmark building bringing six new commercial spaces and 62 bespoke apartments.
“The high-quality design incorporates a number of private and communal terraced areas, with panoramic views from the rooftop gardens.”
