Over 350 homes will be built at a vacant Glasgow site.

The planning application for Dundas Square was approved by the council today, allowing developers to build the development on a vacant site at 144 Port Dundas Road.

Designed by Mosaic Architecture + Design, the plans will include a mix of studio, one and two-bedroom homes, roof terraces, a coworking space, a residents’ gym, a retail unit, and office space.   

Looking onto Port Dundas Road and Milton Street, the applicant said the flats will have easy access to the M8 and are within walking distance of Central Glasgow’s shops and restaurants, Buchanan Galleries, Queen Street Station, Cowcaddens Subway Station and Glasgow Caledonian University.

The homes will appeal to both families and professionals who work in the city and need quick and efficient access to the city centre.

Nick Treadaway, founder and CEO of Soller Group said: “We’re very pleased that Glasgow City Council has given the green light to our development, of which we are very proud, and which will bring a vacant site back to life in an area seeing considerable inward investment and regeneration.

Neil Haining, Director of Mosaic, added: “This development will really strengthen Glasgow’s ambitions to encourage city centre living, which is vital to making Glasgow a sustainable city, where people can walk or cycle easily and safely to work, and where cars are less dominant.  

“Dundas Square will be a pedestrian-friendly courtyard development, with daylight illuminating the central Public Square and a landscaped plaza from Port Dundas Road.

"There will be amenity space as well as roof terraces, designed to ensure they are used as part of the everyday life of the building.”
