ISG has won a £5 million contract to deliver a new build facility for Sports Direct in Glasgow.

The project involves reconfiguring and refurbishing a former retail unit close to the Glasgow Fort shopping complex.

Located adjacent to an existing Morrisons store on Auchinlea Way, features include building a new three-storey steel frame extension. In addition, a gullwing roof structure will be developed as well as extensive glazing and cladding panels, including distinctive coloured mosaic feature panels to the façade.

Overall, the development will create 180,000 sq ft of retail space once the new outlet is built towards the end of 2017. Fit-out works will then commence in early 2018.

Richard Oldfield, ISG's Retail framework director, said: "Sports Direct represents one of the UK's most successful retail roll outs and the company's focus on creating a house of brands for its new store designs is a key development for the business.

"The new Glasgow outlet brings a new gym concept – Everlast Fitness Clubs to Scotland, as well as the country's second ever Flannels store. This is a key win for our business as we add Sports Direct to our client portfolio of the most influential global retail brands."
