CONSULTATION is to take place over a plan to replace redundant Glasgow city centre offices with student flats.

McLaren Property, a developer of residential and student accommodation, is seeking feedback on initial proposals for 285 Bath Street.

A public drop-in information event takes place on Tuesday (18 June) at The Renfield Centre, 260 Bath Street, G2 4JP. Information will also be available on 285bathstreet.co.uk.

Proposals include a ground-floor commercial space that could be used as a base for a local community group, as a café, or retail unit.

McLaren Property’s divisional managing director, David Atherton, said: “It’s fantastic to be putting forward our initial proposals to bring this Glasgow city centre site back to life.

“We want to deliver best-in-class student homes to the city, which will help address the widely reported shortage of student accommodation and support both the universities and Glasgow to retain and develop young talent.”
