Dominus wins go-ahead for 173-bed Glasgow scheme

Developer Dominus has secured planning for a 173-bed student accommodation scheme in Glasgow city centre.

Glasgow City Council has approved the 13-storey, tp bennett-designed scheme for a brownfield site at the corner of Old Wynd Street and Osborne Street, near the University of Strathclyde and Glasgow Caledonian University.

The development is expected to cost around £25m to build and will deliver 173 studio rooms along with a cinema, games room, karaoke space, rooftop lounge and terrace.

Targeting BREEAM Excellent, the building will feature a high-performance fabric and air source heat pumps to reduce carbon emissions.

The site previously secured permission for a 165-room hotel, with that consent still valid until 2027.

Construction is expected to support up to 290 jobs.

Edward Law, planning associate at Dominus, said: “We’re pleased to win approval to transform this underused site into high-quality student accommodation with generous amenities.”

Iceni Projects advised on planning, townscape and heritage.
