The developers will build on a Lidl car park and a former PC World can be demolished to allow a new car park to be provided for the supermarket.
Plans to build “new tenements” with over 130 flats and six shops in Finnieston have been approved despite almost 300 objections.
There are also concerns over the the lack of open space and inadequate car parking, with only 33 spaces for 132 flats. Buildings will start at six storeys on Minerva Street before rising up to eight storeys on the corner at the Argyle Street junction then dropping to seven on Finnieston Street. Cllr Angus Millar, who also represents the ward, said he was concerned the height of the development could “detract from the setting and the character of the conservation area”.
Mr Wood said ground floor shops will provide “an active street frontage” and the development will “be one of the first in Glasgow to have homes heated by individual domestic scale internal air source heat pumps”. “But I would have hoped that the building would have been a bit more sympathetic in terms of its scale and massing than it seems to be.”
