The Build to Rent (BTR) development is located at Herschell Street in Anniesland and is said to offer a 'compelling' investment opportunity in the city. It has full planning permission for 67 one-bedroom and 46 two-bedroom apartments, 113 in total, says Savills and Scarlett Developments, who are marketing the site on behalf of the Mac Mic Group. The accommodation would be set across two blocks, each sitting six storeys high. Savills notes that the design includes six roof gardens and a generous 343sqm communal amenity space as well as commercial units at ground level. Not only does the development have BTR consent, but the principle for private for sale development has also been established through a historic planning permission. A price tag for the development has not been listed on Savill's website, but can be found on the application for the site. It is located next to Anniesland train station and Anniesland Retail Park.

'This site offers a ready-made opportunity to deliver high-quality rental housing in a market urgently seeking professionally managed BTR stock. 'With planning consent already secured, excellent connectivity and rich local amenities, Herschell Street stands out as an exceptional prospect. 'The strong demand for homes in the area also positions this site as an attractive option for private residential developers.'

It is understood that this is a voluntary agreement between a landowner and a local council that restricts or regulates the use of land affected by a planning permission. Herschell Street is situated just 3.5 miles from Glasgow city centre, and the area benefits from a 'diverse, vibrant community'. There is said to be a 'thriving' rental market in the area that reportedly continues to 'outpace national trends'. In terms of amenities, there is immediate access to shopping, dining, and leisure facilities as well as Kelvingrove Park and the Botanic Gardens, which are within walking distance. There are various transport links, including direct rail services from Anniesland station to Queen Street in under ten minutes. For those who drive, nearby Great Western Road provides links to Glasgow, the M8 motorway and beyond. Those interested in the development or wish to get further technical details or arrange a viewing are urged to contact the joint selling agents. Offers are being invited for the Heritable Interest.
