UK: Unite Students, the UK’s largest provider of student accommodation, has purchased a site in Glasgow to build a 934-bed property.
The city centre development will open ahead of the 2027/28 academic year. The Central Quay property, north of the River Clyde, will include a social marketplace café, yoga room, gym, screen rooms, and a garden room with a terrace.
Full planning permission for the scheme was received earlier this year and the deal means Unite will have more than 3,200 beds in the city.
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.”
