Flats built inside a former hospital and later abandoned are due to be brought back into use six years after being found to be dangerously unstable.
The B-listed former Duke Street Women's Hospital was converted into flats back in 2000 but was vacated by residents in 2014 when issues with the structure were discovered.
The building has been left boarded up ever since with Loretto Housing Association suing contractors, engineers and architects for £3 million over the "serious defects".
The redevelopment of the historic building involved the retention and refurbishment of the existing facades and roof of the four-storey building.
However, interior of the building, which was built in around 1904, was demolished and replaced.
Loretto Housing Association raised legal action against those who worked on the building in 2015. The case is still ongoing.
According to documents published by the Court of Session last year, the housing association is suing for £3m worth of damages, stating that the cost to repair the damage will total around £2m.
They claim that the building has serious defects, including unstable walls, a defectively installed roof and physical damage to stonework caused by the movement of the external walls during and following completion of the works.
The housing association has been granted a full hearing in its damages action.
In the meantime, work is due to begin on fixing the building with internal and external alterations now approved by Glasgow City Council.
The work required will involve the addition of new steelwork and wall ties at each floor level, the replacement of any unsafe stones, the replacement of existing plywood structural decking and the replacement of boilers and extract fans.
Developers will also be converting the ground floor office space that was created during the redevelopment into two more residential flats.
A Loretto spokesman said: "There was some evidence of movement in the building and residents were moved to new homes to enable full technical investigations to be carried out.
"Plans are being brought forward to bring the building back into use for homes for social rent."
