The development will provide over 236 new apartments for rent, a new 6,000sqm office development and ground level café and co-working spaces within a new public realm that re-establishes pedestrian priority, promotes active travel and strengthens the sense of place.
3DReid worked with Vastint to customise their volumetric residential construction system for the development. Collegelands will be the first development in the UK to use this system, which combines the advantages of off-site production with flexibility in the design and construction.
Well-designed workplaces, homes and amenities will create a new sustainable community and deliver on the key objectives of Glasgow’s Draft Strategic Development Framework: City Centre 2050 re-connecting the inner east-end to the Merchant City via a dynamic mixed-use urban quarter creating a more liveable city centre.
“A new urban quarter set within an existing masterplan will provide over 236 new apartments for rent, a new 6,000sqm office development with ground level cafe and co-working spaces within a new public realm.”
