New £12m Leisure Quarter Built At Glasgow Fort

Work on a new £12 million Leisure Quarter at Glasgow Fort is now complete.

The development, which features four restaurants and a 600-space multi-storey car park, follows the opening of a £35.5 million retail extension in 2015, and a £9m leisure extension in 2013.

The unique CorTen rusted steel design also include a living green canopy and walls, sustainably sourced timber and natural ventilation to enhance wellbeing.

Overall, the £12m scheme provides almost 3,000 sq ft of outdoor dining space, green public spaces, an improved public realm as well as children's pocket parks

Following completion, British Land and Hercules Unit Trust (HUT) have taken a number of new retail, food and beverage lettings at Glasgow Fort.

James Duck, Asset Manager for British Land, said: "Glasgow Fort's continued outperformance gave us the confidence to develop the Leisure Quarter increasing the breadth and depth of our food and beverage offering and providing an additional 600 car parking spaces to accommodate growing customer numbers."
