St Andrews in the Square

24 Oct 2006

Urban regeneration developer, Alba Town, has begun construction on a £14 million development which will complete the transformation of St Andrews Square, in Glasgow. The 20,000 sq ft development will feature fifty-two flat and loft conversions as well as 20,000 sq ft commercial space.

The new development has been designed by architects Page and Park, and work is expected to be completed by summer 2007.

St Andrews Apartments will be an entirely new structure on a site which formerly housed a manufacturing warehouse which had fallen into a state of disrepair.  The existing building, formerly the Lawson Fisher department store, will be transformed into St Andrews Lofts which will feature industrial-styled loft apartments, with high ceilings and exposed walls,  each one an expansive 1000 - 1200 sq ft.
