UNITE Students has purchased a Glasgow site to build a new £126 million 934-bed development with plans to open it ahead of the 2027/28 academic year.
The acquisition will see the group’s total number of student beds in the city grow to 3,200 – with full planning permission for the development granted earlier this year.
Alongside student rooms, the Central Quay property will also feature a social marketplace café, yoga room, gym, screen rooms, and a garden room with a terrace.
Tom Brewerton, Unite Students group development director, said, “Our latest Glasgow development, north of the River Clyde, will create a new supply of high quality, affordable student accommodation in the city to support the continued growth of our university partners.
“This property will provide more homes for students while helping to ease Glasgow’s housing storage by freeing up houses for families.”
