Also, After paying £250k for your shiny new apartment, stepping over discarded takeaway boxes, kebab and piss on a Sunday morning isn't the best way to start your day.

sounds like my street in Shawlands Alex!

[Bingo Bango]

the links dont seem to be working....

also - not just union street, the development stretches through to mitchell street.....

great site for a development - the bulidings as the stand are pretty interesting too. I love how the conrete/steel frame of the warehouse on mitchell meets the cast iron framed building onto union street.

To be fair, yes it will be noisy and messy, but i think thats more the buses problem than the flats. it has been my opinion for a good while now that the negative impact the buses have on the city center is greater than the benefit they bring in some ways. (environmentally speaking, obviously people still need to get to the city on public transport)

perhaps the bus operators need to come to a deal with the council where they will recognise there are too many routes, too many buses going down the same few streets (union street perfect example) or something....

Have they got parking or will they qualify for city centre permits?

[Bingo Bango]

no parking is being provided with the refurb works....

Sounds like an argument for a second thread - the virtues of public buses or restoring the trams to the city centre....

indeed, a good idea!

[James Bell]

The Trams were disposed of....caused too much congestion!!!!

What about the EGYPTIAN HALLS...Alexander Greek Thomsom's building next door or at least very close.....what's happening there..

A scandalouse waste of a good building ....not to mention the huge los of Rate Revenue to the City... lets see some action on the huge number of semingly empty buildings in the city.

Vienna Apts





The latest development project for Premier Burrell - a joint venture between regeneration specialists The Burrell Company and The Premier Property Group - comes in the form of Vienna Apartments located in the heart of Glasgow city centre.

Vienna will offer a total of 76 studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments, a variety of penthouses and loft apartments, as well as office and restaurant space on the lower floors. Homes will be individually styled whilst many areas retaining the original feel including glazed light wells, cast iron columns and beams along with double-height spaces.

The first release of properties is due in February 2008.

Funnily enough that's the first thing I thought.

You'd be mad to want to live on Union Street.

Egyptian Halls gain lease of life as owner dispute settled

One of Scotland's most historically significant buildings will be given a new lease of life after two decades of ownership disputes were resolved.

The semi-derelict Egyptian Halls, designed by Alexander "Greek" Thomson in the mid-1800s and dominating Glasgow's Union Street, will undergo a £5m clean-up and refurbishment before being marketed as a retail or office development.
