Artisan Real Estate has today revealed designs for a mixed use development, featuring low carbon homes, for a site at 65-97 Ingram Street in Glasgow, following an initial public consultation.
The development, on land which is currently a temporary car park, will feature four distinct buildings varying in height from four to six storeys. The proposed stepped designs features communal roof terraces accessible on different levels.
109 new homes are planned – with ground floor commercial space fronting onto Ingram Street. Properties include a range of one, two and three bedroom flats with terraces.
A ”publicly accessed landscaped garden courtyard” will include “raised planting beds featuring native pollinating species, trees, lawns, plots to grow vegetables, bird boxes and bee keeping on extensive private and communal roof terraces, alongside a combination of paths and seating areas” say the plans.
The devolper says than more than 700 people engaged in the first round of consultation “with an overwhelmingly positive response to the proposals as well as strong support for encouraging more people to live in the city centre”.
A spokesman for Artisan Real Estate said, “We knew the location of this development which borders on key city streetscapes including Ingram Street, Albion Street and Candleriggs, demanded an impressive design statement and we believe our proposals deliver this.
“We’ve spent a long time ensuring we’ve considered every aspect of design and believe our proposals will provide a dynamic and innovative contribution to the Merchant City.
“This second round of consultation kicks off on Tuesday 29thMarch with a drop in event from 3pm-7pm at Merchant Square, followed by a livechat from 3pm-7pm online at www.65-97ingramstreet.co.uk We would like feedback on this key stage of the design process by 10th April.”
“Supporting the city’s net zero ambitions”, no car parking spaces are planned. Residents will be provided with secure bike spaces and access to the city car club.
The proposed commercial space will accommodate up to four separate units ranging in size from 1,750 sq ft to 2,750 sq ft and will be suitable for a range of work, retail or café uses.
