Drone footage has captured construction progress of the £70m purpose-built student accommodation scheme at 292-298 St Vincent Street in Glasgow.
John Graham Construction started work on site in September 2024 for developer Artisan Real Estate and Homes for Students and is on schedule for completion in summer 2026.
Gary Holmes, regional managing director at Graham Building North, said: “Our team is now bringing the development out of the ground, breathing life back into a site which has remained vacant for almost six years.”
The completed development, to be known as St Vincent Studios, will provide 321 high studio apartments over 16 floors. Additional facilities and amenities will include a reception, study rooms and common areas together with a gym, cinema room, roof terraces and storage for 160 bicycles.
“It’s very exciting to see the building coming out of the ground, well on schedule for completion in summer 2026,” said Artisan Real Estate managing director for Scotland, David Westwater. “The next six months will see a big difference as we complete the concrete frame and floors and look forward to topping out the building. The completed development will meet the urgent need for high-quality purpose-built student accommodation in the city. The site is in a superb city centre location, within easy walking or cycling distance to several higher and further education establishments.”
