\t\"Interwar<\/a> <\/p>\n

The developer behind proposals to demolish an unlisted interwar bakery in Glasgow has vowed to retain its facade in the delivery of new student accommodation.<\/p>\n

St George’s Studios, along with neighbouring properties at 93-113 St George’s Road<\/a>, had been trailed for demolition during earlier pre-app discussions.<\/p>\n

Latterly used as office space, the building has suffered from low occupancy post-Covid but the applicant ruled out a retrofit-first approach on the grounds of fire safety, energy performance, layout constraints, a lack of daylight and issues around access.<\/p>\n

It is proposed to retain the brick facade as part of an expanded structure, accessible by a newly routed side lane into the interior of the city block.<\/p>\n

Commercial ground floor uses including a snooker hall, grocery store, gym and cafe are also planned.<\/p>\n

Albert Investments has assembled a design team including ThreeSixty Architecture, Woolgar Hunter and Atelier Ten for the project, a final consultation<\/a> for which is scheduled for 7 August at Woodside Library between 15:00 and 19:00.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
