Summary:
- Glasgow’s largest city centre living sector project is advancing as the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service prepares to vacate its Cowcaddens complex, opening a 4.4-acre site with planning permission to deliver over 1,250 new homes.
- The site’s Planning Permission in Principle allows flexible development options including build-to-rent, private residential, purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), and retail or leisure uses, offering developers significant freedom in unit mix and design.
- Cowcaddens, a well-connected cultural district near key transport hubs and recent major regeneration projects like the £250 million North Bridge development, is positioned to attract increased residential investment following policy changes exempting BTR from rent caps.
