Owner Nixon Blue has withdrawn its application for 36 new-build apartments in Finnieston but says it is committed to bringing its £8million investment to the city with plans for a residential build.
It is looking to resubmit plans in the New Year.

The company is working with award-winning Glasgow-based firm PagePark Architects on its new proposals. The team is now reviewing feedback to meet the needs of the local community with plans to resubmit proposals in the New Year.
Nixon Blue Director and Architect Colin McIntyre said: “Our decision to withdraw the application is to look again at our proposals in light of comments from the local community and the city’s planning officers. The process allows us to address concerns and we want to work in partnership to create a development that meets multiple needs. Our architectural and landscape team are working to put forward the best proposal for this site and for the city. We remain committed to bringing a high-quality development which is proportionate and complements the location as well as offering a public garden that can be enjoyed by all residents."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
