Savills and Scarlett Developments have launched a fully consented Build to Rent (BTR) residential development site in Glasgow’s highly sought-after West End.

The proposed scheme on Herschell Street, Anniesland, comprises 113 apartments (67 one-bed and 46 two-bed units) arranged across two blocks, each rising to six storeys. 

The design includes six roof gardens, 343 sqm of communal amenity space and commercial units at ground level. 

Nicola Lunn, development director at Savills, which is acting on behalf of the Mac Mic Group, said: “Glasgow’s West End has long been one of the city’s most desirable locations. 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.

“The Herschell Street site comes to market at a pivotal moment for residential development. Compared to Manchester – a city of similar size – Glasgow’s BTR pipeline remains significantly smaller, making this project a rare opportunity to meet growing demand with ready-to-build inventory.”
