Refurbishment work has started on the Ink Building, an eight storey office block formerly known as Hanover House, with completion expected in the spring.

Once completed, the building will be transformed into high quality Grade A contemporary office accommodation offering 35,000 sq ft (3,251 sq m) in a market that is currently under-supplied for new Grade A offices.

Savills is the joint agent, along with Lambert Smith Hampton.

The building was purchased by Ambassador Holdings in 2018 and is their third high quality Glasgow city centre office alongside Granite House and the Forsyth Building.

The building will be taken back to the core and completely refurbished into a high quality modern office building with upgrades to the roof, all new curtain walling window system with extended glazing to the front elevations, mechanical and electrical, including air conditioning, and lifts.

The building will benefit from a revitalised exterior decorated with special "breathable" black mineral paint that will not crack or peel and a re-modelled reception area.

The refurbishment will also include digital infrastructure upgrades that will rank the building among the best in the UK for digital connectivity.

Heating and cooling will be provided by an air source heat pump system which helps with the building’s environmental performance.

Colin McGhee, associate director in the office agency team at Savills in Glasgow, said: “There is no shortage of demand for high quality office space in the city centre. Employment growth is forecasted at 12% over the next five years translating to roughly 4,000 new jobs in Glasgow."
