A £40 million project to develop Scotway House, Clydeside, into new student housing, has celebrated a major milestone.

Structured House Group, Graham, Nixon Construction & BOHO attended a topping out ceremony on the build.

The £40million GDV project is a significant investment for the city and has brought more than 300 jobs and employed a number of local companies.

It is the first in a series of projects planned by Glasgow-based Structured House Group (SHG), as part of a £500m joint venture deal with a US company signed earlier this year.

Scotway House is located on the historic site of the former Meadowside Shipyard Office.

Craig Inglis, CEO of Structured House Group, said: "We have reached a significant milestone on the build and we are proud our new accommodation will be a landmark along the Clyde.

"Investment in Glasgow is one our key ambitions and to continue the transformation of this great city as a place people want to live, work, visit and invest. Our aspirations for the city are to build excellent developments, provide jobs, boost the local economy, and to see a sizeable amount of investment that supports the ambitions of this city. That is why we are excited to see the transformation of Scotway House that continues to grow week-by-week."

The new student development will open in September 2019.
