Plan for affordable homes and student flats in Glasgow unveiled

Plans for 591 student apartments and 20 affordable homes at a city centre’s largest development site have been unveiled.The proposal for the brownfield site includes the provision of 20 new affordable apartments which will be delivered with partner West ofHousing Association and will be made up of 10 one-bedroom apartments suitable for single people or couples, with ten two-bedroom apartments, suitable for families.

The firm said that over the last decade, demand to study at Glasgow’s leading universities has grown by 27,000 over the last decade and as a result, the city has an undersupply of student accommodation with only 19,279 student beds which creates a shortfall of 58,346 beds. It said it means 75% of full-time students are unable to access purpose-built student accommodation.

The proposal also includes creating additional commercial units on the ground floor for new retail and leisure opportunities as well as considerable improvements to the public realm. “The development emphasises our commitment to Glasgow aims to help to alleviate some of the pressures felt across the city as a result of Glasgow’s growing population and lack of available housing types.”
