UK: A topping our ceremony has been held at the PLATFORM_ Glasgow BTR project, the largest in Scotland.
The scheme is being delivered by contractor GRAHAM for investor, developer and operator of BTR communities PLATFORM_.
PLATFORM_ Glasgow is the city’s tallest building at around 60 metres. The development is strategically located between the International Financial Services District and Finnieston. It will consist of four blocks, ranging from six to 20 storeys in height.
The scheme will deliver 498 homes – a mix of studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Amenities include a gym, landscaped courtyard, two roof terraces, cinema room and remote working facilities, all included in the monthly rent. Residents will also enjoy a private games room, bar area, guest lounges and group dining rooms, all exclusive to PLATFORM_ Glasgow residents.
The development will achieve the Silver Active Energy standard with plans submitted for sustainable energy generation by rooftop photovoltaics and the use of air source heat pumps in place of traditional heating systems.
GRAHAM and PLATFORM_ aim to complete the scheme in October 2023, with apartments available to view from Q3 2023.
Matt Willcock, development director at PLATFORM_, said: “We’re really proud to see PLATFORM_ Glasgow achieve another milestone and it was great to get everyone involved together to mark it. The Clyde Waterfront has been earmarked as an area for urban regeneration by Glasgow City Council and we are helping to accelerate this by delivering a ready-made neighbourhood that will deliver much-needed homes and have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of residents.”
The project team includes Thomas & Adamson, Axiom Project Services Limited and Keppie Design, and the topping out ceremony involved guests climbing to the 20th floor of the building.
