THIS is the first glimpse of the dramatic £80million transformation planned for Glasgow's Savoy Centre.
The two-storey mall will become a 30-storey landmark which will include office space and a 221-bedroom hotel.
And the top floor will be turned over to the highest restaurants in the city offering breathtaking views.
Around 6000sq m of office space will be created.
As part of the scheme, the ugly walkway taking pedestrians from the shopping centre over Renfrew Street to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama will be demolished.
It is expected Belfast-based developer PNB Properties will submit plans for the ambitious project to Glasgow City Council in the next few weeks.
Damien Mitchell, PNB property director, said: "The Savoy has been part of the city centre landscape for more than 30 years.
We believe the time has come to revive, modernise and expand the centre's offering.
"Our proposals will provide an array of new amenities, including a hotel, restaurants and office space, as well as creating a new landmark building for Glasgow city centre and improving business opportunities for existing tenants.
"The Savoy will offer a new class of restaurants to Glasgow, boasting panoramic views of the city from the 30th floor."
