Turner & Townsend has been appointed to project manage the construction of a £20m office building in the Dalmarnock area of Glasgow.

The project will see a site of vacant land on the banks of the River Clyde redeveloped into 120,000sq ft of Grade A office accommodation spread across a new five-storey building.

The new build will provide space for approximately 900 people and will also create 200 car parking spaces.

Turner & Townsend will provide full project management, cost management and CDM-Coordinator services for the project.

Receiving £16m of 'shovel-ready' funding from the Scottish Government, it is anticipated that the office will act as a catalyst for further regeneration of land surrounding the site and help grow the newly created National Business District within Clyde Gateway.

Kevin Bryson, Associate Director at Turner & Townsend, said: "Turner & Townsend and their team have been involved since June 2010 and so it is very exciting to see the construction works commencing on site.

"We have enjoyed a very successful relationship with Clyde Gateway over a number of years and this is the latest project which supports the regeneration of a key area of Glasgow."

Neil McDonald, Chair of Clyde Gateway, added: "These offices will be built to the highest possible standards and such a fantastic waterfront location, with superb links to the motorway network and to an extensive public transport system, is certain to generate a huge interest and attract a significant and influential tenant."

The project is due for completion in October 2014.
