A MODERN office development in an old Glasgow building has let the last of its flexible “plug and play” suites.
The Garment Factory in the Merchant City said yesterday that last of its 12 managed office suites, which range in size from 247 square feet to 764 sq ft, will be occupied by recruitment firm Iconic Resourcing.
Developer Castleforge said the response to the suites underlines demand from businesses for more flexible offices, with leasing manager Jack Beckett noting that each come with “multiple entry points, touch-free access systems and spacious desk layouts”.
He said: “Occupier well-being has been carefully considered in our design and we have created an environment and communal facilities which encourages and supports staff and businesses to maximise the use of their office space.”
The Garment Factory is located in a B-listed building on the corner of Ingram Street and Montrose Street, with tenants including Threesixty Architecture, Autorek, Channel 4 and Incremental Group.
Only two spaces remain available to let at the building: a 3,649 sq ft space on the first floor, and 4,962 sq ft on the second floor.
Martin Speirs of CBRE, joint letting agent with Ryden, said the Glasgow office market is “now showing strong signs of recovery” from the impact of the pandemic.
Other firms to snap up the “plug and play” spaces at The Garment Factory include Blackhall & Powis, a specialist provider of property and project management services, bridging finance lender Lowry Capital, building consultancy Reid Mitchell, law firm Gunnercooke and technology business Katrick Technologies.
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
