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....

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

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.
