A plan for another huge build to rent housing development is being put forward for a car park site in Glasgow.

Moda Living who already have a development underway at the old Strathclyde Police HQ at Pitt Street in the city centre is behind the proposals with developers GRDI Europe.

A previous plan for a hotel, shops and food and drink units has been changed to remove the hotel and focus on build to rent.

The development would include several buildings on the site including a 16-storey block on the north east corner of Elliot Street towards the Clydeside Expressway.

The whole site would be home to 730 apartments for rent, one of the biggest of its kind in the city.

On the  south-east corner there would be an eight-storey block on Lancefield Quay, increasing to 15 storeys and then to 11 storeys on Lancefield Street.

The development would be another build to rent scheme along the Broomielaw stretch of the River Clyde between the Kingston Bridge and Finnieston Street.

Further along, Platform is building 498 flats at Central Quay on the old Daily Record building site close to the Kingston Bridge on the north bank of the River Clyde.

Several others are taking shape or in the planning stage across the city centre.

Major UK, American and Middle East investment corporations are behind the big build to rent projects taking shape in Glasgow.

The latest plan, for Lancefield Quay, has been in the pipeline since 2019 and has now been amended to focus on rented apartments.

The application states: “The proposed development was refined to offer a build to rent residential development for the whole site, with associated commercial and leisure uses typically associated with the applicant’s business model.

“The proposal for a hotel use has been removed, at this stage, based on market testing on this particular use in the current market.”

The site is being used as a privately owned car park and was historically part of the Lancefield Foundry complex, which included boiler works and brass works to support the shipbuilding industry.
