Developer Ediston Real Estate has filed plan for a £150m redevelopment of Shawlands Arcade, a shopping mall, in Glasgow, Scotland.
The shopping mall was built in 1960.
The proposal submitted to the Glasgow City Council was brought forward by arcade’s owner, Clydebuilt, a property investment and development fund co-owned by Strathclyde Pension Fund and Ediston Real Estate.
It envisages transforming the site by creating many new homes and shops, reported Construction Enquirer.
Shawlands Arcade will have a combination of shops on the ground floor and 330 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments above, reported Glasgow Times.
The plan also features greenspace and public realm areas that include space for play, performance, and art.
