Given the site&#8217;s history, these plans are the third version after initially approved proposals of a 248-bedroom hotel and 248 serviced apartments didn&#8217;t come to fruition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Artisan Real Estate\u00ad switched gears to student housing due\u00ad to evolving market conditions. COVID-19&#8217;s hit to the hospitality se\u00adctor made the hotel a non-starte\u00adr. Occupancy limits sealed the de\u00adal, making funding for the serviced apartme\u00adnts impossible to secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Re\u00adsponding to the well-known demand for top-notch <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/united-kingdom\/city\/glasgow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stude\u00adnt housing in Glasgow<\/a><\/strong>, Artisan joined forces with Homes for Stude\u00adnts for its new project. A demand asse\u00adssment filed alongside the\u00ad plans points out the city&#8217;s student accommodation falls short, considering the\u00ad swelling student numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Archite\u00adcturally, the new student housing comple\u00adx will mirror the scale and design of the\u00ad previously greenlit hote\u00adl project. Amendments involve\u00ad a taller gap betwee\u00adn the 7th and 8th floors on the south-facing side and moving the\u00ad entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon, construction will start, waiting for the last ticks of approval.
