Redevelopment of the waterfront area of Tradeston
project and surrounding cityscape. Conor Osborne, CEO, Osborne+Co, said: “Glasgow is a key regional business hub recognised most notably for financial services, life sciences and renewable energy. We are confident that this ambitious development will help Glasgow to fulfil its full potential by attracting global occupiers looking to invest and expand their UK presence and benefit from the skilled local workforce Glasgow has to offer.” In the burgeoning build-to-rent sector, Moda Living is at work on the former Strathclyde Police headquarters at Pitt Street to build 433 new apartments. That will soon be followed by Get Living’s 700 homes off High Street. Executive Chairman of Get Living, Rick
de Blaby, said: “Our £200 million proposal is a significant investment for Get Living
and commits us fully to the long-term growth and success of Glasgow. Our role will see us working alongside the Council and its own ambitious plans for the city, alongside businesses that need to recruit and retain staff and most importantly for the people of Glasgow to deliver great homes set within new public spaces. “We have listened carefully to local people, then worked very hard to create these ambitious plans for a new green neighbourhood in the heart of the city. This is a historic site and we are keen to see it become a thriving part of Glasgow’s future.” The site, which historically has been
the site of Glasgow University, the Hunterian Museum and the goods yard of the City of Glasgow Union Railway Company, has lain empty and derelict for many years with just a small area of it
being used as a car park. Both are perfectly positioned to house
many of those who will want to work in the IFSD or in the recently launched City Innovation District in and around the University of Strathclyde. Mixed use developments include
PLATFORM’s Central Quay, the ongoing work at Collegelands on the edge of the Merchant City, Chris Stewart Group’s George Street Complex – and on the north side of the M8, the City Council’s Sighthill regeneration and Scottish Canals’ admirable Canal Project. There is also Peel Ports’ plans for a major retail outlet district at Glasgow Harbour, close to the Riverside Museum. “It really is encouraging to see this level
of investment in Glasgow. It shows that people understand the modern narrative about the city being open for business with an educated and able workforce and a great place to live and work,” said Richard Muir. Should you need any further

encouragement about Glasgow’s current and future success, can I suggest you watch Invest Glasgow’s six-minute film the city’s delegation proudly took earlier this year to the annual MIPIM property market in France. For the city and for Glasgow Chamber
of Commerce, there is an increasingly positive story to tell, the narrative of Glasgow’s growing success.
