UPDATED plans for the redevelopment of a former nightclub in Glasgow are being brought forward for public scrutiny.

People are to be given their say on the latest proposals for the redevelopment of the former Archaos nightclub site in Queen Street at a public viewing.

Real estate investor CA Ventures said the scheme will deliver a high-quality, purpose-built, managed student accommodation on "what is currently a derelict and highly complex site".

It will provide 230 beds and “active ground floor uses”, which may include retail or commercial uses.

The consultation event will be held on Thursday, December 1, between 2pm-6pm, at the former Bowery Bar on Queen Street which neighbours the nightclub. It follows earlier feedback.

The developer said Archaos closed its doors in 2007 and has lain vacant since, adding it is in “extremely poor condition and does not offer sufficient floor area or a suitable internal layout to provide a viable development opportunity for commercial or residential use”.

A representative from CA Ventures said: “We envisage this site as a perfect opportunity to add to the vibrant community of students currently living in central Glasgow, benefitting local shops.”


Liz Cameron: The UK Government must be pragmatic about immigration

SECURING the people that Scottish businesses need is proving to be one of the toughest challenges facing the economy.

Quite simply, there are two ways to bring more people into the workforce. One is domestically, through education, skills and training. The other is through immigration, by attracting international talent to live and work in Scotland.


​Kristy Dorsey: Energy markets must work for the people they serve

THE latest missive from my energy supplier says I’ve cut my monthly gas and electricity usage by 22 per cent compared to the same period a year ago, which would feel pretty satisfying except for the fact that November’s direct debit went up by more than 15%.

That was on top of an excruciating 89% increase in August after coming off what was admittedly a very competitive two-year fixed deal.
