'The potential transformational benefits to the city centre cannot be underestimated.'
A bid to demolish the St Enoch Centre to make way for a major new development has been recommended for approval, as council planners believe it presents a “significant opportunity”.
Demolition would take place over four phases, with key buildings retained. These are the A-listed Buck’s Head building, the B-listed former Debenhams and unlisted properties at 135-255 Argyle Street. A masterplan stated the redevelopment will provide “up to 2.5million square foot of floor space”, while an “indicative” breakdown showed there could be 160 hotel rooms and 802 flats.
“Despite the extent of demolition proposed, the potential transformational benefits to the city centre in terms of re-population, placemaking, sustainability, air quality, biodiversity and health and wellbeing from the development, cannot be underestimated.
