Vita Group’s plans for a new PBSA scheme at India Street have been given the go-ahead. Glasgow City Council approved plans for the 20 India Street site, which includes the delivery of 591 PBSA apartments.
The project, designed by Sheppard Robson, will replace the Strathclyde Regional Council office, which has been empty since 2015.
As part of our commitment to preserving the site’s historical integrity, we embarked on an exploratory exercise to understand the existing foundations of the site’s historic structures. In the absence of record drawing information, we rolled up our sleeves and conducted on-site excavations. The insights gained from this hands-on investigation played a crucial role in coordinating with the new build proposals for the site.
This development will not only provide first-class student accommodation but also enhance the wider public realm, creating a lasting positive impact in the heart of Glasgow.
