Building work has begun on the Victoria Infirmary site.

Collective Architecture is delighted to be on site for the first phase of the ambitious redevelopment of Glasgow’s former Victoria Infirmary hospital site. 

This initial phase will deliver 135 much-needed affordable homes and 11 retail units for Sanctuary Housing.  The second phase will create more than 200 homes for open market sale, including apartments in the restored Nightingale Pavilions.

Peter Martin, Sanctuary’s Group Director said: “The Victoria is one of Scotland’s most eagerly-anticipated housing projects so it’s rewarding to see phase 1 underway.

“These affordable homes will be highly sought after and bring new life to a historic site, sowing seeds for the south side’s newest community.

“We thank Glasgow City Council for sharing our vision for the Victoria and helping fund 135 affordable, accessible homes local residents desperately need.

“The new public realm will complement this first phase of homes, creating an attractive, traffic-free route through the development from Battlefield to Queen’s Park.”
