These are described as "much needed" and align with Glasgow City Centre's plan to repopulate the city centre.
On the ground floor of the building, there will be study areas, a gym and cafes to "activate" the street.
This will provide space for the larger community as well as residents.
A block of twenty affordable homes will also be constructed with private gardens and a retail unit on the ground floor.
Proposed communal green spaces will also provide local people with an opportunity for sport and physical activity.
