Marc Taylor, Director of Kelvin Properties, said:

“Our plans will allow a community to flourish and reinvigorate an incredible building while protecting the environment and boosting the local economy.

“Glasgow’s west end continues to be a welcoming and highly attractive place to live and demand for properties continues to grow. We’re very pleased that our plans for the redevelopment will restore this stunning building to its former glory and provide much-needed high-quality homes in a fantastic location. Although the building isn’t listed, we will retain its fantastic architectural features.

“We have also made sure to maximise outdoor space for the residents - we feel the rooftop space will be particularly attractive.”

“We are delighted to hear that Kelvin Properties have received planning approval for this exciting residential development at Napiershall Street. Not only will the development create new homes within this popular area of the city, but it  will help to restore this 130-year old building to it’s former glory. We look forward to watching this development get underway”
