Former offices for the Gloucestershire Probation Service next to Gloucester Prison could soon be converted into flats.
Plans have been submitted to convert Barbican House into a block of apartments.
The building sits on the corner of Barbican Road and Commercial Road and is adjacent to the former HMP Gloucester.
They are awaiting planning consent from Gloucester City Council's planners.
The offices would be transformed into 13 flats, each on two floors.
The units would boast an open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area with bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor.
Highway officers predict the site will need to accommodate around six cars and a site visit has shown that it could realistically hold around five – so they have not raised any objections to the proposals.
The probation service is now based in Bruton Way.
