A new mixed-use development, including 109 apartments and ground floor retail units, has been proposed by property developer Artisan Real Estate for 65-97 Ingram Street in Glasgow.

The proposal includes a range of one, two and three bedroom flats; communal landscaped roof gardens, terraces and a "garden oasis".

According to reGlasgow.com, the development will also include publicly accessed landscaped garden courtyard with native wildflowers and planting, alongside relaxing seating areas, specialist lighting and public artwork sympathetic to the site’s historic setting and conservation status, as well as aligning with the existing Merchant City Art Trail.

Artisan are reported to have appointed specialist landscape designers to ensure final proposals enhance the local biodiversity through raised planting beds featuring native pollinating species, trees, lawns, plots to grow vegetables, bird boxes and bee keeping on extensive private and communal roof terraces, alongside a combination of paths and seating areas.

A spokesman for Artisan Real Estate said: "We knew the location of this development which borders on key city streetscapes including Ingram Street, Albion Street and Candleriggs, demanded an impressive design statement and we believe our proposals deliver this.

"We’ve spent a long time ensuring we’ve considered every aspect of design and believe our proposals will provide a dynamic and innovative contribution to the Merchant City.

"This second round of consultation kicks off on Tuesday 29 March with a drop-in event from 3pm to 7pm at Merchant Square, followed by a live chat from 3pm to 7pm online at www.65-97ingramstreet.co.uk. We would like feedback on this key stage of the design process by 10 April.”
