Invest Glasgow and Bilfinger GVA have
collaborated to launch their
Glasgow Investment Guide and City Centre Development Pipeline
Map. The documents summarise key opportunities in the city centre
and surrounding areas for development, highlighting in particular
the potential related to the £1.13 billion City Deal.
Alison Taylor, Head of Business Space Scotland at
Bilfinger GVA, said, "It's extremely important to stimulate new
investment in both the creation of new buildings or the
refurbishment of existing ones. We require buildings of the future
for the occupiers of the future. Investment in property is required
to allow Glasgow to compete in a European context for world class
jobs."
"While some people are somewhat risk-averse at the moment
for macro-economic reasons, this is actually an opportune time for
developers in particular looking to invest in Glasgow. There is a
strong level of demand for Grade A office space in a climate where
we are heading towards a supply shortage. The growing trend for
alternative uses for existing buildings in the city centre such as
hotels and student accommodation has exacerbated the pressure on
stock while space available in recently completed developments has
been snapped up quickly."
