Ahead of submitting a planning application, public consultations will start in the new year with drop-in events where visitors can view the proposals and meet with the design team.

Ahsan Afzal, head of development for Nova Living at Ambassador Group, said: "The desperate need for student accommodation in Glasgow has been widely reported and Osborne Street is a well-positioned student location, being a short walking distance from universities, main transport links and the city centre’s vibrant retail and nightlife scene.

"We’re excited to introduce our NOVA student living concept to Glasgow.

"We are incorporating an innovative design which encourages students to come together, socialise and share ideas.

"Our community and sustainability-led approach re-affirms our deep-rooted focus on student experience and wellbeing."

Glasgow-based Ambassador Group has delivered high-quality buildings including Park Quadrant Residences in the West End, 17 Pollokshaws in the Southside and a 200,000 sq ft mixed-use development in Finnieston. 

Public consultations for the Osborne Street development will be held on Wednesday, January 18 and Wednesday, February 8 from 2pm until 7pm in the ground floor reception area of Granite House at 31-33 Stockwell Street. 

Plans can also be viewed from Monday, January 16 at www.novaosborne.co.uk.
