Spectrum Properties (Scotland) has purchased a former primary school site in Glasgow.

The developer acquired the former Golfhill Primary School buildings and janitor's house in Dennistoun for £550,000 from the local authority.

Depending on planning permission and relevant consents, plans are in place to build 145 two-bedroom flats and a two-bedroom house on the site. Further proposals include the safeguarding of a B-Listed building façade and the development of an adjacent brownfield site.


The council said: "The property was in extremely poor condition, and it was considered that the optimal solution for the site was the retention of the school's southern façade as it has the greatest architectural merit, along with part of the east and west façades, with a new-build flatted development in the internal areas of the former school."

Cllr George Redmond added: "This decision will allow the development of new flats in a popular area of Dennistoun while protecting the B Listed façades of the former school, and raise a capital receipt for the council."
