On-site work commences in March for the first speculative
office building in Glasgow since 2015.
Due for completion in mid 2020, FORE Partnership's
94,000 sq.ft. city centre 'Cadworks' development will offer the
highest level of sustainability, with `10,000 sq. ft. floorplates,
virtually column-free office accommodation, animated ground/first
floors, best-in-class changing facilities and a wide range of
occupier services.
Traditional underground car parking is replaced with high spec
cycle, fitness and shower facilities, accessed by the City's first
cycle-in ramp. Cadworks will also have the highest cycling ratio in
Glasgow with 108 cycle racks.
In addition to the focus on carbon reduction, Cadworks is
zeroing in on community values and social awareness. Initiatives
include partnerships with Glasgow's universities and empowering
social enterprises throughout the construction phase, to foster
local employment. Cadworks aims to achieve the top 'Well'
certification and highest connectivity standards, targeting
WiredScored 'Platinum' accreditation.
Demolition works start in in March 2018 and FORE will be going
to market with the construction works shortly. Committed financing
has been secured, making the project fully financed and ready
to be taken forward.
The development is jointly marketed by GVA, Ryden and
Savills.
