The Victoria

The Victoria is a truly unique development in the heart of Glasgow. The former hospital site will see the creation of a whole new community, including a public realm, retail units, green space, and beautiful new homes to suit a variety of people.
Originally built in 1888 and designed by Campbell, Douglas and Sellars architects, this former hospital, named after Queen Victoria, is located at the heart of the south side of Glasgow. This exciting new development will breathe new life into the site and with it, will bring over 400 new homes to the area.

Key historic features of the site will have the majority of their iconic features preserved, and will take centre stage. Reputable Scottish architects have worked very closely with the Beech Grove Homes and Sanctuary Scotland teams of property experts to ensure that the plans for The Victoria development evoke a true sense of Glaswegian pride.

With a variety of purchasing options available, these properties will be ideal for anyone looking to create a home in this vibrant area of South Glasgow.

History

Late 19th century

The Victoria Hospital first opened its doors in the late 19th century, with the earliest building (which is now listed) located on Langside Road. In 1893, new wards opened which doubled the number of beds and the Nurses Home was extended in 1900 and 1905 to cope with the extra demand.

1902 - 1930s

In 1902, management decided to build a new ward block, due to long waiting lists. This opened in 1906 with expansion continuing through to the 1930s, when the final wing on Battlefield Road was constructed.

50s, 60s and 70s

After further expansions and developments were made throughout the 50s, 60s and 70s, it caused the site to have a confusing layout, which led to the decision to close the hospital and rebuild across the road.
