A \u00a338 million purpose-built student accommodation scheme at 292 St Vincent Street, Glasgow, has officially topped out, marking a major milestone in the delivery of 321 studio apartments in the city centre.<\/p>\n
St Vincent Studios is being delivered by GRAHAM, on behalf of Artisan Real Estate and Housing Growth Partnership, and is set to complete in summer 2026 ahead of the new academic year.<\/p>\n
Designed to meet the needs of Glasgow\u2019s growing student population, the scheme \u2013 developed in partnership with Homes for Students, the UK\u2019s largest third-party student management company \u2013 will provide premium living spaces alongside a range of facilities, including study areas, a gym, a cinema room, roof terraces, a reception, and secure cycle storage for 160 bikes.<\/p>\n
Artisan Real Estate, Housing Growth Partnership and Homes for Students were joined by Turner & Townsend and Hawkins\\Brown, representing the client\u2019s design team, at the official topping-out ceremony yesterday, where attendees signed a commemorative plaque to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n
St Vincent Studios is transforming the site, formerly occupied by a 1970s office building which has been vacant since 2019.<\/p>\n
Once complete, the new development will place students within walking distance of the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow Caledonian University and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.<\/p>\n
William Ross, contracts director at GRAHAM Building, said: \u201cReaching the topping out stage at St Vincent Studios is a significant moment in delivering this landmark scheme.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking with Artisan Real Estate and Housing Growth Partnership, we are proud to be transforming a long-vacant site into modern accommodation that will support both Glasgow\u2019s students and the wider regeneration of the city centre.\u201d<\/p>\n
Artisan\u2019s development director for Scotland, David Westwater, added: \u201cThe site is in a superb city centre location and meets the urgent need for high-quality student accommodation in the city – especially for individual studio apartments.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe completed development will provide self-contained studio apartments together with a range of additional facilities and amenities over 16 floors, and the more longer-term student market we are targeting will bring energy and investment to the city centre.<\/p>\n
\u201cSt Vincent Studios is a well-designed development which replaces an existing office block which had remained vacant for more than five years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Colin Bennett, investment director at Housing Growth Partnership, said: \u201cThis is our second joint venture with Artisan Real Estate and underlines our confidence in the PBSA sector at a time when economic and planning constraints are impacting new developments coming forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to be working with GRAHAM, and the topping out is a key milestone in delivering this \u00a0PBSA development on St Vincent Street which will provide first class accommodation and amenity spaces for students.\u201d<\/p>\n
Martin Corbett, chief executive officer of Homes for Students, added: \u201cWe are proud to be working closely with Artisan Real Estate to ensure this will be a best-in-class, purpose-built scheme.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will be creating high quality accommodation and amenities for students to enjoy, providing an exceptional user experience using the skills of our property team to foster and support student wellbeing whilst closely integrating with the local community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Alistair Leith \/ GRAHAM A \u00a338 million purpose-built student accommodation scheme at 292 St Vincent Street, Glasgow,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":488248,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7826],"tags":[748,918,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-488247","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-glasgow","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-glasgow","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115349733381949767","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488247\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
