UPDATED plans for the redevelopment of a former Marks & Spencer store are being brought forward for public consultation.

The proposals for the site at Sauchiehall Street are for a mixed-use development, comprising student accommodation for approximately 600 residents with commercial units on the ground floor.

In addition, the historic arcade link between Sauchiehall Street and Renfrew Street is set to be reinstated, providing a publicly accessible connection between them both. Those interested will be able to view the plans through online and in-person events.

This follows on from an initial public consultation held in November 2022.

An in-person session will be held on Thursday, March 23, at the Maldron Hotel between 2.30-7pm, meanwhile, an online interactive chat session will take place between 3-7pm on Tuesday, March 28, via fusionsauchiehallstreet.consultationonline.co.uk.

A spokesperson for Fusion Students, who submitted the plans, said: “We are delighted to be bringing forward updated proposals to the local community as part of our ongoing consultation process.

“Through the delivery of quality accommodation, carefully thought-out public realm spaces and commercial units, we remain confident that the proposals would enhance this historic street in Glasgow’s City Centre, while also serving to address the shortage of PBSA beds for the city’s student population.

“We look forward to welcoming members of the local community and interested parties in the coming weeks and hearing their thoughts on the updated proposals.”
