Plans approved for 36-floor student accomodation in Glasgow

Ongoing demolition works at Portcullis house will make way for the property but developers said a “large element” of the existing structural frame would be retained.

Portcullis House, originally developed in the 1970s, previously operated as an office with the most recent tenants being HMRC.

The building has remained vacant since 2020, having failed to attract a tenant.

Previous plans for a residential development on the site were put on hold in August 2021 due to a lack of guidance from the council.

Responding to the decision of the planning committee, a spokesperson for Watkin Jones Group said:

“We are delighted that our planning application for The Ard (formerly Portcullis House) has been granted, subject to conditions.

“Regenerating a current brownfield site, the development will be designed to the highest environmental standards, boasting the latest low and zero carbon technologies.

“Redevelopment of the site will form a significant part of an overall renewal of the west end of the city centre, acting as a catalyst for change and enhancing the vitality of this part of the city.”
