spaces. It will offer floorplates of 17,000 sq ft, and feature
penthouse level with terrace, designed to BREEAM 'Excellent'
standard and EPC 'B' plus rating.
The development is likely to be one of the only speculative
office schemes of its size in the UK, priced from £23 per sq.
ft
Construction will commence shortly and is due for completion
towards the end of 2013.
Abstract's Development Director, Christopher McPherson, said:
"We are very pleased to announce we now have planning consent for
St Vincent Plaza and can realise our vision of creating an
extremely high 'Grade A' specification development in Glasgow's
IFSD. Our scheme will be one of the key elements in the next phase
of the IFSD and will help to attract high-profile occupiers to the
city, which in turn means more local employment and growth for
Glasgow."
The scheme has been designed by Glasgow-based Keppie Design.
CBRE will market St Vincent Plaza.
