Close to city centre yet outside from hustle bustle. Once we have a grocery store in building it would be one overall experience place

I love living in the area, it is an amazing location, short walk into city centre, has swimming and other amenities close by. The only bad aspect of living in the area is the lack of parking availability however there is a carpark a short walk from the building that offers great prices

The only thing i wish i had known was the council tax prices, i never factored that into my outgoings before moving in as excepted it to be cheaper, however this is something that was out of Platforms control as the building had just opened when i moved in

Moving from the quiet countryside to Glasgow has been such a great experience. The best part has to be the how friendly everyone is – it's been so easy to settle in and feel right at home. Plus, the location is just unbeatable! Being right in the heart of things means the city centre and train station is practically on our doorstep, making it super easy to visit home and travel around different spots in Scotland, and the West End 30 mins away with cafes and shops etc. It's like having the best of both worlds.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Thankfully, we haven't encountered many significant issues since moving in. The only recurring problem has been with the bin chute, which, to be fair, seems to be more attributable to other resident misuse rather than any fault of the building management itself. More concerning was the recent malfunction of the parking shutter, which understandably raised security concerns. However, the building management team has been proactive in addressing this. They communicated the issue promptly and have assured residents that they are working diligently to resolve the problem and restore the security of the parking area. Their responsiveness, even with these minor incidents, has been reassuring.

While the ease of settling in and the friendliness of everyone has been a pleasant surprise, knowing about the movie nights in the cinema room, social gatherings, or any other organised activities beforehand would have allowed us to get involved even sooner and feel connected to the community from day one.

Location is good, not too far away from the city centre. Only thing that could be better is more stores close by, but that is set to change soon.

There is nothing really that comes to mind right now.

The location, frankly, couldn't be better. Right in the center of everything, but with some cool quiet streets in the vicinity. Restaurants aplenty, convenience stores, a couple smaller grocery stores - really everything you could ask for. And easy access to public transit, too - subway, bus, and rail are all within an easy walk. It can be a bit noisy on match day, and a bit intense to walk out onto busy urban streets, but the building always feels like a calm oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

I've had a couple of maintenance requests and some other issues and management has been helpful every single time. Responsive and thorough, with great follow-through and constant kindness, I really couldn't ask for more.

As a foreign national, I didn't realize how many extra costs add up on top of rent. Council tax is a significant monthly expense, and utilities aren't the cheapest either. I'd still say this building is good value for money, but do be mindful of all the additional costs.
