The site at Herschell Street, Anniesland, comes with full planning permission for 113 one and two-bedroom apartments. Whilst benefiting from a BTR consent, the principle of private for sale residential development has also been established through a historic planning permission.

Nicola Lunn, development director at Savills, said: “Glasgow’s West End has long been one of the city’s most desirable locations. This site offers a ready-made opportunity to deliver high-quality rental housing in a market urgently seeking professionally managed BTR stock. With planning consent already secured, excellent connectivity and rich local amenities, Herschell Street stands out as an exceptional prospect. The strong demand for homes in the area also positions this site as an attractive option for private residential developers.

“With Glasgow ranked first in the UK for rental yields and house price growth, and a marked undersupply of operational BTR schemes, the Herschell Street site comes to market at a pivotal moment for residential development. Compared to Manchester – a city of similar size – Glasgow’s BTR pipeline remains significantly smaller, making this project a rare opportunity to meet growing demand with ready-to-build inventory.”

The proposed scheme comprises 113 apartments (67 one-bed and 46 two-bed units) arranged across two blocks, each rising to six stories. The design includes six roof gardens, a generous 343 sqm of communal amenity space, and commercial units at ground level. The signed Section 75 Agreement confirms minimal financial obligations, paving the way for an efficient development timeline.
