GRAHAM receives planning approval for Glasgow student accommodation project
Glasgow City Council in Scotland has granted planning consent for GRAHAM Investment Projects' student accommodation development in the city's Anderston area. The £70m ($94m) investment will revitalise a former brownfield site at 138 Hydepark Street into a 25-storey residence, featuring 236 studio apartments and 174 cluster flats. The new complex aims to meet the growing demand for student housing in the city and contribute to the broader regeneration initiatives in Anderston. The development will offer a comprehensive suite of modern amenities, including rooftop terraces, social lounges, group study areas, and wellness facilities, all designed to enhance the health and well-being of its student residents. Glasgow-based architecture company Cooper Cromar will design the building while Graham Construction will serve as the lead contractor for the project. The project team also comprises Iceni Projects as the planning consultant and Etive Engineers handling the structural and civil engineering aspects. Project construction is set to begin later this year, and completion is expected in time for the 2028 academic year. Graham Investment Projects managing director John McDonald said: 'Securing 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.' 'Equally, this project reflects our strong confidence in the city's future and we're proud to play a role in helping to future-proof Glasgow as a global destination for education and innovation.' Last month, Graham Investment Projects announced the commencement of work on Ireland's only Passivhaus standard leisure facility. The Fermanagh Lakeland Forum in Enniskillen will be transformed into a state-of-the-art leisure, health, and wellbeing hub.
