Robertson is delivering Moda Living’s first build-to-rent development in Glasgow. Located on the site of the former Strathclyde Police HQ building in Pitt Street, it will comprise 433 professionally managed homes for rent with associated mixed-use space at street level.
Key facts
I’m looking forward to working on our Holland Park neighbourhood with the same quality team that worked on our Springside neighbourhood in Edinburgh.
Early engagement with Moda Living has seen Robertson implement its Assured Construction Delivery (ACD) approach. This brings certainty to both the cost and programme through detailed modelling and planning. The logistics associated with a constrained city centre development of this scale bring their own complexities which have also been addressed through the Robertson ACD approach.
Robertson started works on 11th January 2021, following a period of demolition. The beginnings of the tower structures will take shape from April, using slipform concrete cores.
Holland Park has been designed by Glaswegian architects HAUS Collective and Ryder Architects, who have taken inspiration from the grid street pattern of Glasgow city centre and incorporated stunning views from a rooftop terrace. The high-quality housing will help rejuvenate the city centre. The outside of the building will be a mix of stone and metal cladding, glazed curtain walling and brick.
The project is Moda's fifth build-to-rent project with funder Apache Capital Partners, also backed by UK Insurer NFU Mutual, and Harrison Street the investment management firm.
Global real estate investment manager BentallGreenOak provided a four-year £80m debt facility to fund the construction of Holland Park.
