\n To be submitted on behalf of Pinnacle Holdings and Cedarstone Capital Partners, the proposals would bring a long-vacant brownfield site back into productive use, \u201ctransforming an underutilised plot adjacent to Glasgow Royal Infirmary into high-quality housing for key workers\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n The developers said the development \u201cresponds directly to the growing demand for affordable accommodation for NHS staff and other essential workers\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n A spokesperson for the developers said: \u201cLocated within a short walking distance of the royal infirmary and well connected to Glasgow\u2019s public transport network, the new homes are intended to provide convenient, secure and affordable living options for those working at the hospital.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n The development would provide 168 studio rooms for key workers, arranged over ten storeys, and would include a range of shared amenities \u201cdesigned to support residents\u2019 wellbeing\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThese facilities would include internal communal spaces, a landscaped courtyard, and a roof terrace with some stunning views overlooking the Glasgow Necropolis.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n By increasing the supply of specialist key worker housing in the city centre, the proposal \u201calso aims to reduce pressure on Glasgow\u2019s wider private rental market, helping improve housing affordability for the broader population\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n The design of the scheme has been shaped through pre-application engagement with local residents, Glasgow City Council<\/a> and NHS partners, “ensuring the needs of hospital staff are reflected while also responding sensitively to the surrounding historic and urban context”.\n<\/p>\n \n Read More:\n<\/p>\n \n If approved, the development would “represent the first new bespoke housing proposals in Scotland specifically designed to support hospital staff, helping strengthen the city\u2019s healthcare workforce while bringing a prominent vacant site back into meaningful use”.\n<\/p>\n \n John West, director for Pinnacle Holdings, said: \u201cKey workers are essential to the wellbeing of our communities, yet many face real challenges finding affordable accommodation close to their place of work. This proposal aims to provide high-quality homes within walking distance of Glasgow Royal Infirmary, supporting NHS staff while also helping ease wider housing pressures in the city.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n Tom Upton, managing director at Cedarstone Capital Partners, said: \u201cThe whole team has been encouraged by the excellent location on Wishart Street and by the positive response to the proposals.\n<\/p>\n \n “Glasgow is a vibrant and successful city, and we\u2019re eager to move forward quickly with plans that we hope will be the first of many new developments helping to make high-quality housing more affordable for NHS staff and other key workers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n Craig Stirrat, chief executive of Grampian Housing Association, said it had operated a similar model: “Maybe a first for Glasgow- but Grampian Housing Association built 105 homes for NHS Grampian and medical staff from University of Aberdeen<\/a> at the ARI site six years ago – mainly MMR and some social rented (for lower paid NHS staff).”\n<\/p>\n \n A planning decision from Glasgow City Council would be expected later in 2026 following the formal assessment process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To be submitted on behalf of Pinnacle Holdings and Cedarstone Capital Partners, the proposals would bring a long-vacant…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":354443,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[163,521,85,46],"class_list":["post-354442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
