Green light for major Glasgow regeneration

Planning permission has been granted for a major new mixed-use development in Glasgow that aims to offer hundreds of homes, offices, a hotel and shops.

The seven-acre Central Quay site on the western edge of the city centre has been a brownfield area for several years. It is bounded by Anderston Station and the River Clyde and is owned and managed by Harbert Management Corporation (Europe) LLC and XLB Property. Both are advised by GVA and CBRE and the masterplan was designed by architectural firm Keppie Design.

Tony Lawson of XLB said: “Central Quay is a significant site and its regeneration is long overdue. It will now provide a major new mixed-use quarter to the western edge of Glasgow city centre close to the SSE Hydro, Scottish Exhibition Centre and major transport hubs.

“The first phase of development is expected to commence towards the end of 2018,” he added.
