The future of one of Glasgow's architectural gems looks likely to be resolved by the end of the month. And the revamp of the A-listed Egyptian Halls - which will be in excess of Ł3.8million - could at last breathe much-needed life into Union Street. There have been complaints the area has become rundown. It is now lined with empty units and To Let signs. It is understood a deal will be struck this month that will see the halls - opposite Central Station - come under sole ownership for the first time in 70 years. Dundee-based Union Street Developments is finalising proposals to transform the neglected Alexander 'Greek' Thomson masterpiece and have overcome the funding hurdle that has held the project up for years.
