planning application submitted for glasgow mixed-use development
Downing has submitted a planning permission application to redevelop 40 Anderston Quay, situated along the River Clyde in Glasgow. The project is designed to meet the growing need for high-quality student accommodation and co-living residential units in the local area...
Formerly the headquarters for the Daily Record and Sunday Mail newspaper, the brownfield regeneration site is planned to include three blocks with a total of 1,135 bedrooms, alongside a 3,700ft2 commercial unit. Two of the blocks will accommodate Purpose- Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) units, whilst the third will be allocated for co-living use. All three blocks will have their own management suites, ancillary and amenity features, landscaping and extensive public realm. The site forms part of Glasgow City Council’s 2024-2030 City
Centre Strategy, which sets out to create a vibrant, well-connected place to live and work, with thriving and sustainable green spaces. The site has been selected for its proximity to nine Glasgow educational institutions including the University of Glasgow, the University of Strathclyde, and Glasgow International College. It is also a ten-minute walk from Anderston station, and lies in close
proximity to Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow Green and Glasgow city centre. The first of the two PBSA blocks – the scheme’s landmark tower –
comprises 551 bedrooms across 29 storeys above ground level and includes an outdoor rooftop terrace. The second PBSA block will house 282 bedrooms within a ten-

The third block is a 13-storey building above ground level, and includes 302 co-living bedrooms, with communal lifestyle and supporting amenity spaces on every floor, and a ground floor commercial retail space. Occupiers will also have access to rooftop terrace amenity spaces. The PBSA blocks propose a mixture of cluster flats, studios,
