Zero-car neighbourhood planned for a Glasgow car park
September 18 2024
A developer with aspirations to build out a giant surface car park in Glasgow city centre has returned to the starting blocks with fresh proposals - two years on from winning permission in principle for a mix of commercial and residential uses with Stallan-Brand.
Vengada Estates still envisage a mixed-use development on the 4.2-acre site off King Street but wishes to update its proposals to incorporate a broader range of tenure types.
Billed as an intergenerational zero-car neighbourhood The Merchant Quarter would combine build-to-rent and co-living homes with student accommodation, offices and a hotel with ground floor retail and leisure units.
In a proposal statement, the applicant wrote: "Three building blocks are proposed, and the location of the blocks and the internal arrangement are designed so that a pleasant and distinctive environment is created. Consideration is given to the neighbouring buildings, with the blocks located to avoid overlooking.
"As it is a planning permission in principle application (PPiP), the uses within these plots remain flexible and will react to market requirements, and these scenarios will be captured within a detailed Development Framework that accompanies the planning application."
A fresh PPiP application will follow in December.
