GRAHAM has announced the completion of a landmark purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development located on Bath Street in Glasgow city centre, following topping out at the scheme in July 2024.
The complex has now been handed over to iQ Student Accommodation who acquired the site in August 2022, and will operate and manage the facilities.
iQ Cullen House is an impressive 12-storey building. It offers 551 much-needed high-quality units for students, who are expected to begin moving into the building ahead of the upcoming summer term.
Designed to cater to the evolving needs of students, the property will provide a fully equipped modern gym, a gaming arcade, a variety of dining spaces, including communal kitchens and private dining areas, rooftop terraces and expansive social areas designed for collaboration and relaxation.
“Credit to GRAHAM Building for another successful delivery for iQ and a great partnership on this project. And finally to our shareholders Blackstone for their continued support to the business and to UK student accommodation.”
Matt Merrick, CEO, iQ Student Accomodation
Adjacent to iQ’s existing property Elgin Place, the new property on Bath Street provides residents with immediate access to Glasgow’s academic institutions including Glasgow School of Art, University of Strathclyde and University of Glasgow, as well as cultural attractions and key transportation links.
“The completion and handover of Cullen House marks an important step in delivering high-quality student accommodation in Glasgow. The modern facility helps meet the increasing demand for purpose-built student housing across the city, while also bringing a key city centre site back into use in a positive way.
“This project reflects GRAHAM’s ability to deliver complex and demanding projects that align with the needs of our clients and the communities they serve. Its successful delivery is the result of close collaboration with the wider project team throughout the process.”
Gary Holmes, Regional Managing Director, GRAHAM Building North
The completion of Cullen House is the latest example of GRAHAM’S proven expertise in delivering large-scale residential projects and an ongoing commitment to enhancing Glasgow’s urban infrastructure.
