A major regeneration project delivering over 900,000 square feet
of Grade A office space and over 300 new homes has taken another
step forward after Glasgow
City Council approved the disposal of three plots in Tradeston
- close to the Tradeston bridge, on the southern edge of the
IFSD.
The project is expected to provide workspace for 7,000
employees, through significant inward investment schemes.
The site will be purchased by Drum Property Group
for £1,317,500, with work expected to begin in late 2018, with
completion in three years.
Councillor Kenny McLean, City Convener for Neighbourhoods,
Housing and Public Realm, said: "The disposal of these plots will
enable a development bringing a huge amount of Grade A office
space, new homes and new jobs to the city centre, as well as a
contribution to the public purse. This project will mark a
new chapter in the regeneration of both Tradeston and the
waterfront."
The site offers huge potential as a location, with excellent
connections such as the Tradeston pedestrian/cycle bridge linking
the area to the IFSD and the wider city centre.
