Tender loving care has always been at the beating heart of the former Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow’s southside and now the site’s iconic Nightingale buildings have been painstakingly restored, set to become Glasgow’s most sought-after new address.
Lovingly transformed by Beech Grove Homes, the extraordinary trio of historic sandstone buildings has been reimagined as a limited development of luxury modern apartments that bring 21st-century living to life, but with timeless heritage.
This Friday, 7 November, the first assortment of hotly anticipated properties from the Nightingale Collection will be released for sale, bringing about a rare opportunity to secure a home that blends historic character with contemporary design in one of Glasgow’s most desirable locations.
With a weighty interest list, far exceeding the number of apartments available, the homebuilder anticipates a lot of interest as it begins to release the first exclusive apartments.
Just 2.5 miles from Glasgow city centre, The Nightingale Collection enjoys an unrivalled position in Battlefield, a vibrant neighbourhood known for its excellent schools, independent cafés, popular restaurants and thriving local shops. Residents will also benefit from superb transport links, making city life and beyond effortlessly accessible.
Standing proudly on Battlefield Road, the majestic buildings have been sensitively restored to create an inspiring portfolio of just 56 exclusive apartments, with 24 in the first release. Each home has been individually designed to maximise light, space, and flow, with interiors that embody modern luxury while respecting the site’s celebrated past.
Every apartment will be finished to the highest specification, complete with private off-street parking, lift access and state-of-the-art security.
Alongside the refurbished, eye-catching cupolas, several of the larger apartments will also feature reinstated balconies, a hallmark of the old hospital, which is fondly remembered by the local community.
Many of the remaining apartments will feature generous terraces, extending living spaces outdoors to create a true sense of home.
Inside, varying ceiling heights of up to an impressive 4.3 metres, curved open-plan living areas and carefully reinstated period detailing create a sense of grandeur rarely seen in new homes. Generous proportions, with layouts ranging from stylish one-bedroom city abodes of 569 sq. ft. to spectacular family-sized apartments of more than 1,751 sq. ft., ensure there is a home to suit every lifestyle – whether as a first-time purchase, a downsizing opportunity, or a forever family home.
Despite its heritage appearance, The Nightingale Collection prioritises energy efficiency. Dedicated EV charging, video/fob entry systems and secure double glazing add modern peace of mind.
Beyond their doors, residents will enjoy all the charm of the southside, with Queen’s Park on the doorstep; nearby Strathbungo named as one of the UK’s Best Places to Live 2024, and Time Out recently recognising it as one of the World’s Coolest Neighbourhoods.
Isabella Ferguson, Director of Sales & Marketing for Beech Grove Homes, said: “This is a truly rare opportunity to own a piece of Glasgow’s living history. The Nightingale buildings aren’t infact listed, and we know many developers had a different vision for the site that didn’t include these beautiful buildings, but we have treated them as such and have painstakingly brought them back from ruin. They are now arguably amongst the most unique and coveted properties in the city.
“While the exterior façades of these iconic sandstone buildings have been carefully preserved, the interiors are where the transformation comes to life. Each apartment is completely unique, designed to combine heritage and character with uncompromising modern luxury.
“From the reinstated balconies and eye-catching cupolas to the flowing layouts, soaring ceilings and light-filled spaces, no two homes are the same and all are something Glasgow has never seen before.
“The former Victoria Hospital meant a great deal to local people, and so we have taken the utmost care to respect that in the creation of our Nightingale Collection. Our vision reflects the significance of the former Victoria Hospital and will provide something special for future residents.
“We expect a lot of interest in our Nightingale Collection, and appointments for the first release will be available soon for interested buyers.”
