As part of its St
Vincent Plaza office development, Abstract has officially
launched its new public space, a 22 metre wide terraced pedestrian
area linking William Street to St Vincent Street, improving access
from Hilton Glasgow to the IFSD and the City Centre.
The space was officially launched by Mark Glatman, chief
executive of Abstract, Bailie Liz Cameron, and Daniel Van Wyk,
manager of Hilton Glasgow, with the help of Lauren Rennie
(9) and Aissatou Bah (10) from the nearby Oakgrove
Primary School. Abstract has supported the development of the
school's Eco Committee projects.
Mark Glatman said: "We have had a fantastic reaction to the new
public space that brings a new vibrancy to the IFSD and the central
business quarter of the City.
"Lighting is a key part of the scheme with a focus on creating a
safe, well lit public realm link. Up-lighting to the M8
underpass and new feature signage forms part of the gateway to the
space".
With rents from just £23 per square foot, St Vincent Plaza is a
landmark development, located opposite the HQ for Scottish Power
and one of the key elements in the on-going development of the
IFSD.
