Clyde Gateway officially opens flagship office building

Red Tree Magenta, a Grade A modern premises of 40,000 sq ft, has been built at a cost of £9million and is the first building at Magenta, a new 27- acre urban business park situated in
Shawfield, next to the River Clyde and M74 motorway network. It is home to 30 tenant companies, bringing 170 jobs to the area, with demand for the location so high that the building is already fully let, years ahead of expectations. There is an impressive range of
tenants within Red Tree Magenta, from solo new-start businesses right through

Among the facilities at Red Tree Magenta are a Nespresso café, superfast fibre connections, collaborative working and breakout spaces, a garden roof terrace and electric car charging points.

conscious organisations are excited to work together once again, joining forces to create an ethically sourced coffee that will benefit those experiencing homelessness here in Scotland. The Dear Green x Social
Bite Blend is an exclusive blend of Brazilian, Colombian and Rwandan coffee which not only tastes good, it also does good. A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of every retail bag of Dear Green x Social Bite Blend coffee will go directly towards Social Bite’s 'Pay it Forward' scheme which enables someone experiencing homelessness to receive a free cup of coffee. It’s all part of Social
Bite’s ultimate goal to end homelessness in Scotland.
