To build 109 apartments on the Ingram St carpark site, we think it’s the wrong place. "After COP26, Glasgow council is thinking of removing one of the only possible opportunities for a green space in the city centre. It’s right next to city halls and some of the main entertainment centres — home to the symphony orchestras. What happens if the residents in the new apartments complain about the noise? Will it be the end of the city halls?
Owners, City Property, marketed the land in 2021 and Artisan was selected as the preferred developer. The plans to build 109 apartments across a seven-storey development also include a courtyard, which would be accessible to the public, and a roof terrace. Council officials said the number of storeys are “not considered to be excessive”, with the “stepped form of the building” meaning it is not “an overly dominant presence”.
