Plans for a supermarket and shops in Govanhill have been scrapped.
Developers looking at the the site on the corner of Butterbiggins Road at Victoria Road have instead applied for permission to build apartments.
Link Group, in partnership with Govanhill Housing Association, has applied to build 121 apartments including a seven storey retirement block and other blocks aimed at elderly residents.
The side, which is part of the former Larkfield bus depot, was previously earmarked for a Lidl supermarket.
After Lidl changed it's mind, Link were approached by Park Lane and Glasgow City Council to develop the site for housing.
The properties will be one, two and three-bedroom units, for a mix of mid-market and social rent and for sale through shared equity.
The design document explains: “The proposed massing comprises a seven-storey corner block on Butterbiggins/Victoria Road which reduces in scale to five-storey towards the north.
"The design has placed a particular focus on creating inviting streetscapes, views and greenspaces to create an attractive and welcoming new neighbourhood
“Car parking is integrated in a cohesive rhythm of trees, hedge and block planting to ensure the streetscape is not dominated by cars but caters for the wider needs of residential living.
“The proposed layout offers communal backgardens for each block as well as two communal neighbourhood parks of different character for the entire neighbourhood.”
The application is due to go before Glasgow City Council 's planning committee.
