Councillors approved the ‘build to rent’ neighbourhood at Lancefield Quay, which will reach 22 storeys at its highest point, during a planning application committee meeting.
More the 700 "vibrant orange" flats are set to be built alongside Glasgow 's Clydeside - but one councillor has said he would have preferred them to be green.
Committee chair Ken Andrew, SNP, said he was not “quite sure about the orange treatment”. He added: “I like all the other treatments - the green and brick finishes etc.” He said: “The local supply chain impact of Lancefield Quay measures over £250 million creating and safeguarding over 400 jobs through the construction process and creating 15 new apprenticeships and adding nearly £80 million to the economy.”
Councillor Imran Alam, Labour, said: “We have to build up unfortunately. It is the way the city centre is. We recently approved something much higher than this and this is 22 storeys. There is no other way to build to combat the housing crisis in the city.”
