Construction has begun on Glasgow's latest student housing development with Leeds-based Urbanite Living breaking ground on a £33m block of 169 studio apartments at Jocelyn Square.

Clyde Court is being delivered by Robertson Construction to designs by NW Architects which emphasises amenities through the provision of two private dining kitchens, study rooms, a cinema, a gym, and pool tables.

Urbanite project director Adam Sadler commented: "Glasgow is one of the UK’s top university destinations with education space as well as student applications continuing to increase at a rapid pace. It is also one of the top two cities with the lowest privately-owned purpose-built student accommodation for the 2023/24 academic year. With the number of people studying in Glasgow set to rise to 1.75 million, there is currently nearly four students for every student bed in the city.

“Clyde Court will at least go some way to help alleviate that with uncompromising living spaces that is both sustainable and adaptable for the future whilst also supporting health and wellbeing of its occupants.”

The constrained site sits alongside a railway viaduct and the High Court, with consideration given to avoid compromising the security of the latter.
