The principle of redevelopment at Shawlands Arcade to build over 600 homes and new retail space has been approved, despite hundreds of people signing a petition against the scheme.
More detailed applications will need to be agreed before work can begin, but developers want to demolish the 1960s arcade to clear space for the flats.
Landowners Clydebuilt LP — a partnership between Strathclyde Pension Fund and Ediston Real Estate — have already submitted proposals for the first phase, which would include 330 Build to Rent apartments and 2,000 square metres of retail space.
