Glasgow's premier business destination Skypark has boosted its retail offering with planning consent for its first outdoor coffee pod.

Designed by Glasgow-based firm Ingram Architecture & Design, the 12 square metre pod will take a modular form within a shipping container, comprising a glazed end wall with views into a seated area. To the front of the pod, a galvanised steel walkway with a hinge-up canopy will provide a serving area for takeaway coffee, adding the first outdoor retail offer to Skypark's services. It will be located in Finnieston Square.

Skypark's Strategic Lettings Advisor, Angela Higgins of Resonance Capital said: "Announcing planning consent for the coffee pod is positive news as we drive to improve the retail offer and frontage to Finnieston Street. This is a prime retail location and a superb opportunity for an artisan operator to be located at the heart of the Finnieston entertainment hub, accessing our business community and the public."

Stephen Ellis, Senior Investment Manager, International at Federated Hermes, added: "This planning consent marks a sizeable investment to strengthen the F&B line-up at Skypark and demonstrates our ambitions to establish Skypark as a business destination of choice. Excellent amenities enhance the overall experience of occupiers, allowing them to succeed as part of a vibrant business community."
