The scheme will deliver 509 high-quality student homes in the heart of the East End, adjacent to Merchant City, and at the centre of Glasgow’s most important regeneration.
Delivered by the blue-chip partnership of Galliard Homes and Apsley House Capital, The Trading Post forms a key part of the 7.5-acre College Gardens Masterplan – Glasgow’s answer to King’s Cross – which will deliver a new mixed-use urban quarter combining PBSA, Build-to-Rent, co-living, and a new public realm, all adjacent to the University of Strathclyde and the cultural energy of Merchant City.
The scheme comprises 269 studios (53%) and 240 ensuites (47%), carefully designed to meet the full range of demand from Glasgow’s diverse student population. It offers 688.6 sqm of internal amenity space, including a cinema, lounge, study zones, gym and wellness suite. The site is fully planning consented and, crucially, not subject to the Building Safety Act – making it truly shovel-ready and delivering rare certainty for incoming capital.
