A new hotel is planned for Clyde Street on the site of 1960s Graphical House.
The Unite Union has applied for permission to demolish a
property it has inherited in central Glasgow with the intention of
redeveloping the site as a 16-storey hotel.
The entire cost of the demolition and rebuild is estimated at
just over £2 million.
Unite's plans are to pull down the early 1960s-built Graphical
House, the former home of the Graphical, Paper and Media Union, on
Clyde Street, overlooking the river and just along from St Andrew's
Catholic Cathedral.
The go-ahead for the scheme could be granted early next year.
Unite would bring in a hotel firm to run the property.
At least one budget hotel operator has expressed an interest in
the proposal.
