WORK has begun on a project to turn a prominent Glasgow building into a leading creative workspace.
McLellan Works will offer a raft of office suites as well as significant retail and leisure space across a whole block on Sauchiehall Street.
The redevelopment of the property, which shares an entrance with the McLellan Galleries, begins as the Avenues project designed to revive the famous thoroughfare builds momentum, following the disruption caused by a series of major fires.
Bywater Properties, which has worked on high-profile developments in locations such as Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Smithfield in Belfast and Lambeth and Peckham in London. Is behind the McLellan Works project.
Principal Theo Michell said: “Following planning permission for McLellan Works we’ve been moving quickly to transform and revitalise this iconic building. Bywater is already reinvigorating streetscapes and developments in locations like London, Manchester and Belfast and sees McLellan Works as a brilliant opportunity for dynamic and entrepreneurial businesses to secure their place in the best new space to work in Glasgow city centre.”
McLellan works is located close to Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow Film Theatre (GFT) and the CCA (Centre for Contemporary Arts).
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
