An Emerging and
Vibrant Community
Rising from
the Heart of the
Merchant City
Candleriggs Square is a brand-new development taking place in the heart of Glasgow’s Merchant City.
Work has now started on site to transform the 3.6 acre site - bound by Hutcheson Street, Trongate, Candleriggs and Wilson Street - into a vibrant mixed-use community bringing together new homes, offices, hotels and local amenities.
The site has lain derelict and inaccessible for more than a decade. We now have the once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform this empty space into the beating heart of a revived Merchant City and Glasgow city centre.
Joint developers Drum Property Group and Stamford Property Investments are now moving forward with this exciting vision. Construction of the first phase, the 500-room The Student Hotel, is now underway. Watch this space!
