The public are to be given a chance to view updated proposals for the Central Quay development site in Glasgow. The scheme is seeking to deliver a mixed-use development on a brownfield site, which includes purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), affordable flexible office space and private for-sale residential homes, with the provision of commercial space on the ground floor. 

As part of the pre-application consultation process, the second statutory event will be held on Wednesday 8 February 2023 between 2pm and 7pm at the 2 Central Quay office building, located at 89 Hydepark Street, G3 8BW. This follows the initial consultation event held on 24 November 2022.

“We are delighted to be bringing forward updated proposals to the community as part of our extensive consultation process. Following feedback from the first event, we have sought to incorporate amendments to the scheme, where possible.”

Brought forward by regeneration specialist Summix Capital, the site comprises a vacant 4.43-acre site adjacent to the existing high-quality office building of 80,000 sq ft at 2 Central Quay. The site, in conjunction with land to the south, benefits from planning permission in principle for the mixed-use development. This includes offices, residential, hotel, and associated ground floor commercial uses with access, parking, landscaping and associated works.

The Central Quay site is located between the city centre and the west end at Anderston. It is immediately adjacent to Finnieston, one of Glasgow’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods. The site has lain derelict for a considerable period, and its regeneration heralds a significant investment in the city. 

“This development, on a brownfield site, represents a significant investment in Glasgow, providing much-needed housing and commercial space. We look forward to hearing the views of the community as we display our updated proposals, ensuring that it plays a key role in shaping our scheme.” l
