Glasgow City Council has appointed Savills to advise it on residential strategy as part of a wider city centre strategy review.
The council’s residential strategy aims to support the growth of the population in the city centre, including finding residential uses for redundant office spaces.
It will also address the need for affordable, family-friendly housing and the growing trend toward city centre and waterfront living.
Jamie Doran of Savills Glasgow said: “The growth of Glasgow’s residential capacity needs to work in tandem with the overall strategy for the city centre if it is to be successful and sustainable.
“As such, through detailed evaluation of residential supply and demand, and the involvement of the key people, stakeholders and businesses that play an important part in Glasgow’s city centre, we will inform new planning policy that will unlock new opportunities for city centre living.”
