Construction Contract Signed for Glasgow Build-to-Rent Tower

Build-to-rent developer Platform_ has signed a contract with contractor Graham to begin construction on a tower in Glasgow, Urban Realm reported in June. Designed by Keppie, the tower, called Central Quay, will be constructed on the bank of the River Clyde and will provide nearly 500 apartments across four blocks, with a 20-story tower rising above them. A range of residents’ facilities include a rooftop garden, lounges, game rooms, a gym, a cycle club and a café, terraces and a co-working commercial area. Construction is expected to be complete by 2023. Matt Wilcox, development director for Platform_, says, “The building will not only help redevelop the local area but will provide much-needed housing to cope with high demand.”
