An exceptional development opportunity in the heart of Pollokshields, Nithsdale Lodge offers a rare combination of size, location and recent planning consent. The listed Victorian stone building sits on approximately 0.25 hectares and benefits from consent (granted 28 March 2024) to create 17 generously proportioned one- to three-bedroom apartments with ground-floor private gardens and communal amenity space.
The consented scheme retains the building’s steel frame, concrete floors and cores while allowing removal of non-load-bearing partitions, formation of basement doors, a rear single-storey extension and installation of south-facing solar panels. The site includes off-street parking for residents, bike and bin storage areas and pedestrian access from Shields Road and Nithsdale Road. The building is offered freehold with vacant possession.
Important considerations: the property is listed, which will introduce planning and conservation constraints and likely additional costs and delays. The consented redevelopment requires substantial internal reconstruction and fit-out works; the scheme assumes new partitions, floors and services. The surrounding area is mixed and classed as very deprived, so investors should factor in market positioning, letting strategy or sales phasing.
For a developer or investor prepared to manage listed‑building requirements and conversion works, Nithsdale Lodge provides clear upside: a prominent, characterful Victorian asset in a popular south-side neighbourhood, good transport links to Glasgow city centre, and environmental gain from proposed solar PV integration.
