Plans for nearly 600 new homes in the centre of Scotland’s largest city have been given the green light.As part of the project, Buchanan House will be deconstructed, with 94% of the existing building fabric recycled.
“This will form part of a civic scale ground floor and address the junction at Cowcaddens Road, whilst providing opportunity to spill out onto and interact with the public realm. Fronting onto Port Dundas Road, the development will enhance the public realm by providing ground floor commercial units “that activate the street”.
Keppie said in the design statement: “The site acts as a key gateway at the north edge of the city centre, where there is a real opportunity to repair the fragmented urban fabric.
