Key features of the proposal include enhanced connectivity, celebration of the local industrial heritage, and extensive high-quality landscaping. The project seeks to create a vibrant home for its student residents and align with the objectives of the 100-Acre Hill Masterplan.
The development also aims to address the growing demand for student accommodation in Glasgow, contributing to the city's housing needs while enriching the developing Port Dundas area.
