A Paisley building that has lay derelict for almost twenty years is set for a makeover.
Contractors The JR Group have received the go-ahead from Renfrewshire Council to transform the former Territorial Army Building on the town’s High Street into 196 student flats.
Work is set to start on the eyesore building next year and will take around two years to complete. The building has been subject to attacks from firebugs and vandals in recent years.
John Horne, Director of The JR Group, said: “Getting the green light on this landmark development has been a long time in the making and we are delighted to have our plans approved by Renfrewshire Council. It is a site that many are keen to see it redeveloped and brought back to life so we look forward to getting started with works in early 2021.”
“We are a Paisley-based firm so it means a little bit more to be transforming what has been an eyesore for the city for more than 20 years and reinvigorating a key part of Paisley’s history and ensuring its future for many years to come.”
