A mixed-use masterplan for a seven acre site to the west of Glasgow city centre has been given the go-ahead by planners, clearing the way for delivery of 400 homes, 300,000sq/ft of office space, a 150-bed hotel and retail.

Central Quay is being brought forward by Harbert Management Corporation and XLB Property together with Keppie and LDA Design, bringing a long-term brownfield site back into productive use.

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 masterplan is designed around a vibrant high-quality environment, providing new homes and offices plus supporting amenities. Harbert Management Corporation (Europe) LLC and XLB Property are in discussions with a major PRS developer to ‘pump prime’ the waterfront site. The first phase of development is expected to commence towards the end of 2018.”

The development has been spurred by a deficit of speculative office development coming forward in the city through to 2021.
