A massive new business park is to be developed in the East End creating more than 12,000 jobs.
Magenta at Clyde Gateway will be made up of 1.2million sq ft of office space on 27 acres at the former Shawfield development next to the Clyde making it one of the largest office parks in the UK.
It is the largest office development with planning permission in Scotland and will result in a new national business district for the Central Belt.
The scheme was launched today by commercial property developer Highbridge Properties and its development partner, regeneration agency Clyde Gateway.

Clyde Gateway has invested £20million in public realm and infrastructure work at the site to ensure it is ready for development.
Adrian Hill, director of Highbridge Properties said: “When I first saw this site it reminded me of London Docklands in the early years - so much potential and so close to the city centre.
“The location is first class - a stunning riverside development that is just 10 minutes from the city centre, 15 minutes from Glasgow Airport, two minutes from the M74 and with ample parking on site.”
