GRAHAM has completed the build of a 551-unit purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development on Bath Street in Glasgow city centre ahead of the new academic year.
The complex has been handed over to iQ Student Accommodation, which acquired the site in 2022. iQ will operate and manage the facilities at the 12-storey iQ Cullen House.
The property features a gym, a gaming arcade, dining spaces, rooftop terraces and social areas designed for collaboration and relaxation.
Adjacent to iQ’s existing property Elgin Place, the development provides residents with immediate access to academic institutions including Glasgow School of Art, University of Strathclyde and University of Glasgow.
Gary Holmes, regional MD at GRAHAM Building North, said, “The completion and handover of Cullen House marks an important step in delivering high-quality student accommodation in Glasgow. The modern facility helps meet the increasing demand for purpose-built student housing across the city, while also bringing a key city centre site back into use in a positive way.
“This project reflects GRAHAM’s ability to deliver complex and demanding projects that align with the needs of our clients and the communities they serve. Its successful delivery is the result of close collaboration with the wider project team throughout the process.”
Matt Loughlin, chief development officer at iQ, added, “We are thrilled to officially open iQ Cullen House, a vibrant new addition to our Glasgow portfolio that reflects our commitment to creating exceptional living experiences for students and meet the huge demand for accommodation in the city. This development not only provides high-quality accommodation but also fosters a strong sense of community and well-being through its thoughtfully designed amenities. We look forward to welcoming students to their new home in September. Thank you to everyone involved in the project and getting us to completion.”
