About the project. 

Waterfront Private Hospital stands as a beacon of innovation and elegance in cosmetic and plastic surgery. Completed in 2023 through the redevelopment of a vacant building linked to a supermarket, the hospital is owned and managed by consultant plastic surgeons Awf Quaba and Omar Quaba.

This state-of-the-art private healthcare facility was recognised as a finalist in the Health Care Development of the Year category at the Scottish Property Awards 2024, reflecting its design excellence and forward-thinking approach.
