About

Broadway Central is a unique opportunity to acquire 432 studio beds in the much sought after and under supplied city of Glasgow.

There are only 20,553 PBSA beds available in Glasgow of which 13,910 are privately operated and 6,643 are owned by the universities. This equates to a 3.8 x student to bed ratio with only 25% of full time students having access to PBSA. The existing pipeline of beds will not satisfy current demand and if student numbers increase as forecast then the undersupply will become even more acute.

Location

Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city and the 4th largest in the UK and is regarded as an economic powerhouse.

Glasgow is home to 5 higher education institutions including the prestigious Russell group member the University of Glasgow (ranked 14th in The Times Good University Guide 2024), University of Strathclyde is ranked 18th and Glasgow Caledonian University is ranked 52nd.

The latest data from HESA is for the 2021/22 academic year, in which Glasgow’s full-time student population was 77,640, which is the highest on record.
