Nithsdale Lodge is a landmark Victorian stone building on circa 0.25 hectares in Pollokshields, offered with planning permission (granted 28 March 2024) to create 17 one- to three-bedroom apartments. The consent retains the primary structure while allowing removal of non-loadbearing partitions, installation of new floors and partitions, basement window alterations to create ground‑floor private gardens, a rear single‑storey extension, landscaping, parking and proposed south‑facing solar panels. The site benefits from vacant possession and off‑street parking accessed from Nithsdale Road.
This is a development opportunity for a buyer who can manage a listed‑building conversion. The building’s size, high ceilings and prominent clock tower give strong character and the approved layout offers generously proportioned, often dual‑aspect flats with private outdoor spaces. Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, a large plot for an inner‑city location and inclusion of renewable energy proposals.
Key constraints are material and must be budgeted: the property is listed (which will complicate works and approvals), the existing EPC rating is G, and the wider area scores as very deprived which may affect rental levels and resale timing. A Section 75 payment (£21,600 referenced) and valuation roll entry are noted in the brochure; the consent anticipates around 14 car parking spaces. Significant conversion and fit‑out works are required to deliver the flats to market standard.
For experienced developers or investors seeking a distinctive, high‑profile project in Glasgow Southside, this site offers scale, character and planning certainty. Expect listed‑building specialist consultants, controlled contractor programmes and practical allowances for remediation, energy upgrades and internal fit‑out before units reach the market.
