Robertson Construction has begun work for Urbanite Living on a c. €38.3m student accommodation development at Jocelyn Square in Glasgow city centre.
The six-storey development, designed by NW Architects, will provide 169 studio bedrooms for students at the University of Glasgow and the University of Strathclyde. Urbanite Living has appointed Robertson Construction Central Scotland as the main contractor to build Clyde Court. The companies have already carried out a four-month site remediation programme with enabling works to prepare the site for development. CRM Students will manage and operate the building on completion.
Urbanite project director Adam Sadler said: “This project will help to regenerate an important strategic plot in the city of Glasgow, whilst delivering much-needed new residential accommodation. Clyde Court will at least go some way to help alleviate that with uncompromising living spaces that are both sustainable and adaptable for the future whilst also supporting the health and wellbeing of its occupants.”
