Proposals submitted for more Glasgow student accommodation

The Ambassador Group has lodged a Proposal of Application Notice with Glasgow City Council to develop student accommodation on a vacant site on Osborne Street in the city centre.

Located on the corner of Osborne Street and Old Wynd, the plan is to create a contemporary development of 326 student apartments.

In advance of the submission of a planning application, public consultations will commence in the new year, with drop in events being held on 18 January and 8 February in the ground floor reception area of Granite House on Stockwell Street.

Ahsan Afzal, head of development for Nova Living at Ambassador Group, said: “The desperate need for student accommodation in Glasgow has been widely reported and Osborne Street is a well-positioned student location, being a short walking distance from universities, main transport links and the city centre’s vibrant retail and nightlife scene.

“We’re excited to introduce our Nova student living concept to Glasgow - we are incorporating an innovative design which encourages students to come together, socialise and share ideas.“

Based in Glasgow, the Ambassador Group's recent developments include the Park Quadrant Residences in Glasgow’s west end, 17 Pollokshaws in the southside and a 200,000 sq ft mixed use development in Finnieston.
