With an emphasis on driving the area’s long-term economic growth, the major new precinct will be linked to Glasgow’s existing tram, pedestrian and cycle routes.
A new global entrance off Dumbarton Road will be a major addition to the West End’s topography and be a prominent landmark. It will also enhance the area’s accessibility, creating a safe and pleasant pedestrian environment, with clear thoroughfares from local transport hubs. GR HILLHEAD SUBWAY

The University of Glasgow is undergoing a £135 million expansion, updating facilities to meet further international demand and cement its world-leading, research-intensive reputation. It already welcomes 13% of all Scotland’s international students – a population that adds £70 million to the local economy annually.

University of Glasgow’s West End expansion plan
A new 130-acre site extends two miles along Glasgow’s waterway, with the bulk of the work centred at the confluence of the rivers Clyde and Kelvin. This £1.2 billion brownfield regeneration will result in a city within a city featuring almost 19,000 sq ft of residential units, 13 restaurants and offices, hotels and leisure facilities.
It is also the leading performer in Glasgow’s property market, with property averaging £170,000 as opposed to a Glasgow average of £128,000. In the specific G12 postcode area of the West End, average house prices are over 89% higher than the city average. Predictions suggest West End property will rise in value at least 21% in the next five years.
Vita Student has sourced a location within a £1.2 billion redevelopment next to the new University of Glasgow entrance within one of the UK’s most buoyant micromarkets.
