The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Collective Architects, CCG and Glasgow Housing Association on the Bell Street Stables Conversion in Merchant City being named the Renovation and Conversion of the Year at the 2021 Herald Property Awards; notes that the B-listed 1890s former stable block was transformed into 52 mid-market rental flats in 2019, after previously being on the Buildings at Risk register; commends the architects and developers for their efforts in conserving the heritage of the building, which was once home to working Clydesdale horses for Glasgow Corporation’s Cleansing Department, as well as police horses in later years; recognises that the housing complex has won a string of prestigious awards from a number of institutions such as the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland and the Glasgow Institute of Architects, as well as receiving the Conservation and Climate Change Award by Historic Environment Scotland, and encourages the Scottish Government to award funding to more regeneration projects similar to the Bell Street development with a view to protecting the heritage of Glasgow’s derelict historic buildings.
