Huge block of build-to-rent flats planned for west end site

Plans for a huge new £90 million residential development in Partick have been unveiled.

If the proposals are approved, it could see hundreds of new build-to-let apartments being built by the River Kelvin in Glasgow's West End  on vacant land near Beith Street and Castlebank Street.

The 424-apartment development would include 34 studio flats, 213 one-bed apartments, 142 two-bed apartments and 36 three-bed apartments, as reported by ReGlasgow.

As well as the apartments, the development would include 24-hour onsite presence by developers KR Properties, as well as landscaped gardens, rooftop terrace gardens, a River Kelvin promenade, gym, lounge and residents' cafe.

Kevin Robertson, managing director of KR Developments, said: “After 18 months of working in the background with our design team and extensive consultation with the council and other stakeholders, we are delighted that we have now submitted the application for this fantastic project.

“Post Covid-19 we see this as an opportunity to provide much needed new investment in modern and sustainable new homes in the West End to meet the needs of Glasgow’s expanding population.

“The project will also create a large number of construction jobs during the building works as well as new jobs which will be required to manage, maintain and service the development on completion.

“All going well we hope to commence construction in autumn next year with the first residents moving in by late 2023.”
