A PROMINENT site has been put up for sale by car giant PSA Group in Finnieston, signalling the prospect of further development of the popular Glasgow district.
Finnieston, in the west end of the city, has flourished over the last decade thanks in part to the opening of the SSE Hydro, a major concert hall, nearby. It has become home to some of Glasgow’s most popular bars and restaurants, as students and young professionals have flocked to live there.
Now there is the prospect of further development in the area, after a 2.39-acre development site, situated between Finnieston Street, Minerva Street and West Green Place, was placed on the market.
The site was formerly home to a Citroen/ Peugeot dealership, and is being marketed for redevelopment as residential property or for mixed use. A 220-apartment block is currently under development on an adjacent site, which was also formerly home to a Peugeot showroom.
Sven Macaulay, partner at property agent Gerald Eve, which is marketing the site for PSA Group, said: “Finnieston as an area has undergone a renaissance in recent times, driven by both its architectural heritage and convenient location between the city centre and the west end.
“This site represents an excellent opportunity for mixed-use and residential developers seeking to capitalise on this resurgence and help shape the future of one of Glasgow’s hippest districts.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
