Glasgow City Council has approved the construction of Graham鈥檚 410-bed student accommodation development in the city鈥檚 Anderston area.
Representing a 拢70m investment, the new complex at 138 Hydepark Street will transform a disused brownfield site into a 25-storey student residence, providing 410 beds in a mix of 236 studio apartments and 174 cluster flats.
Graham Construction will be lead contractor, with construction starting later this year and completion anticipated in summer 2028, ahead of the new academic year.
Designed by Cooper Cromar, the architecture draws inspiration from the Seagram Building in New York, the developer said. The wider project team also includes Iceni Projects as planning consultant and Etive Engineers as structural and civil engineer.
John McDonald, managing director of Graham Investment Projects, said: 鈥淪ecuring planning permission for this development is a key milestone in bringing forward much-needed, high-quality student accommodation in Glasgow. Transforming a disused brownfield site into a vibrant living environment is a clear example of how targeted investment can support both education and regeneration.
鈥淓qually, this project reflects our strong confidence in the city鈥檚 future and we鈥檙e proud to play a role in helping to future-proof Glasgow as a global destination for education and innovation.鈥�
