This month, a new student accommodation tower block has been completed on New City Road. It is dominating the local skyline due to its size and scale.

The new development has a negative impact on the views of local heritage across the west end including the local church spires and University Tower. It is also out of place alongside the nearby 4-storey flats and primary school.
Landscaping works have been undertaken but there could be further improvements. It is located on an important active travel route from St. Georges Road under the M8 through to Cowcaddens, which is expecting an upgrade with the Underline Project.
