UK: Savills has secured planning permission from Glasgow City Council for a new purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development on Cadogan Street, in Glasgow city centre.
The proposed scheme will deliver 259 student beds in a design-led development located near George Square, with rail, subway, and road connectivity.
The property will have wellness facilities, roof terraces, and collaborative study and working areas, supporting contemporary student living and wellbeing.
