GRAHAM receives planning approval for Glasgow student accommodation project
Glasgow City Council in Scotland has granted planning consent for GRAHAM Investment Projects' student accommodation development in the city's Anderston area. The £70m ($94m) investment will revitalise a former brownfield site at 138 Hydepark Street into a 25-storey residence, featuring 236 studio apartments and 174 cluster flats. The new complex aims to meet the growing demand for student housing in the city and contribute to the broader regeneration initiatives in Anderston. The development will offer a comprehensive suite of modern amenities, including rooftop terraces, social lounges, group study areas, and wellness facilities, all designed to enhance the health and well-being of its student residents. Glasgow-based architecture company Cooper Cromar will design the building while Graham Construction will serve as the lead contractor for the project. The project team also comprises Iceni Projects as the planning consultant and Etive Engineers handling the structural and civil engineering aspects. Project construction is set to begin later this year, and completion is expected in time for the 2028 academic year. Graham Investment Projects managing director John McDonald said: 'Securing planning permission for this development is a key milestone in bringing forward much-needed, high-quality student accommodation in Glasgow. Transforming a disused brownfield site into a vibrant living environment is a clear example of how targeted investment can support both education and regeneration.' 'Equally, this project reflects our strong confidence in the city's future and we're proud to play a role in helping to future-proof Glasgow as a global destination for education and innovation.' Last month, Graham Investment Projects announced the commencement of work on Ireland's only Passivhaus standard leisure facility. The Fermanagh Lakeland Forum in Enniskillen will be transformed into a state-of-the-art leisure, health, and wellbeing hub.

Contractor announced for £90m development aimed at boosting Belfast tourism
The dual purpose deepwater quay will mean more turnaround cruise calls can come to Belfast, so that as one set of passengers get off, another set can set off on the open seas on the same day. It's the harbour's biggest single capital investment project yet, with the quay able to accommodate some of the world's largest cruise vessels. It will also expand the port's capacity for offshore wind turbine assembly and installation. Civil engineering contractor Graham Construction has been announced as the main contractor for the initial phase of the build. Stage one is expected to be ready for the 2028 cruise season while stage two is anticipated by 2030 to strengthen the infrastructure for offshore turbines. The harbour said that with 146 cruise vessels due this year, it was already the busiest cruise port on the island of Ireland, and the second-busiest in the UK. It said the deepwater quay would futureproof its status for cruise tourism and enable the £25m industry to grow even further. When the new quay is ready, the existing cruise hub will revert to its original use as a full-time facility for offshore wind. Dr Theresa Donaldson, chair of Belfast Harbour Commissioners, said: 'Having announced our ambitious new advance regional prosperity strategy only a few months ago, it is exciting to be partnering with Graham to commence work on the single biggest investment project in Belfast Harbour's history. 'As a trust port, our primary responsibility is to maintain and develop the port for the good of everyone in the region, and this project delivers on that mission. 'It will help us to attract more turnaround cruise calls to Belfast, boosting the economic contribution of cruise tourism, while also providing a pathway to our longer-term ambitions of facilitating the construction of the next generation of floating offshore wind farms.' Joe O'Neill, chief executive of Belfast Harbour, said: 'This will have a multiplier effect on visitor numbers. 'As offshore wind technology evolves Belfast Harbour is uniquely placed to be a key enabler of the power stations of the future in the Irish, Celtic and North Seas.'
