THE Cala Homes (West) housebuilding operation is moving its head office to the McLellan Works in Glasgow city centre, with the lease on its current Falkirk base coming to an end.
It said the move will “firm up its commitment to the city” and complement its new hybrid working model, while also “bringing the team closer to key sites and developments in the west of Scotland”.
The move will see Cala Homes (West) bring a head office workforce of around 100 into its new 5,700 sq ft city centre offices from its current base at Cairnlee House in Falkirk.
Cala Homes (West) said the relocation “shows the importance the city plays not only in [the] current business…but also [the] future business as [the] land team is actively seeking more city centre land acquisitions for future sites”.
Jim McIntyre, managing director of Cala Homes (West), said: “This move creates a real opportunity to strengthen our focus as a west of Scotland business.”
Dan Mead, at McLellan Works owner Bywater Properties, said: “Refurbishing the final spaces within the building has been made possible by Cala’s commitment and we look forward to announcing the final new tenants to complete the occupancy of our building soon.
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
