Alumno has obtained ‘minded-to-grant’ planning approval for a new purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme in Glasgow.
Designed by Carson & Partners in collaboration with Stallan Brand, the new six-storey building on St George’s Road will comprise a range of single ensuite bedrooms with shared kitchens and self-sufficient studios, accommodating 262 students in total.
Communal spaces include a private dining room, lounge and common study space on the fifth floor.
Works will begin next year, with Alumno aiming to welcome students to the residence for the start of the 2026 academic year.
David Campbell, managing director of Alumno, said: “We are delighted to have gained planning permission for this important development – our second in the city – which will provide much needed high-quality accommodation for Glasgow students. Our overarching intention is to respect the diverse community of Woodlands and St Georges Cross, while reconnecting and repairing the missing corner of St George’s Road, reinforcing the character of the area, and re-introducing a commercial space at street level.”
