Clearbell's £100m Redevelopment Set To Transform Glasgow City Centre

Clearbell Property Partners IV LP is embarking on a major redevelopment of One Five Zero St Vincent Street, aiming to revitalise Glasgow's office market with a sustainable, high-quality workspace.

The £100 million project will see the transformation of the existing 70,000 sq ft building into a 146,492 sq ft state-of-the-art office space, catering to the growing demand for modern, sustainable workplaces in the city.

Sustainability at the Core Clearbell is prioritising sustainability throughout the redevelopment, targeting leading certifications such as WiredScore, SmartScore, ActiveScore, WELL, NABERS, and BREEAM. The building will be fully electric, minimising its carbon footprint and incorporating features like a blue roof system for efficient rainwater management.

A Focus on Wellbeing The project is designed to enhance employee wellbeing and productivity. A dedicated wellness floor will feature a gym, yoga studio, library, cinema, and auditorium, fostering a collaborative and engaging work environment. Additionally, the building will offer extensive outdoor space, including a large terrace and pocket parks, providing much-needed green areas in the city centre.

Strategic Location Located at a prime location in Glasgow's Central Business District, One Five Zero St Vincent Street offers excellent connectivity to public transportation and major road networks.

As the redevelopment progresses, Clearbell is confident that One Five Zero St Vincent Street will set a new standard for sustainable, innovative office space in Glasgow.

Manish Chande, senior partner at Clearbell Capital, said: "From the outset, sustainability has been our guiding principle for the redevelopment project of One Five Zero St Vincent Street. The Glasgow office market is undergoing significant change, with businesses demanding forward-thinking, energy-efficient workspaces that can meet modern needs. This project is designed to not only meet those demands but also set a new benchmark in the city. By combining sustainability with state-of-the-art amenities, we are creating a workspace that will attract progressive businesses and set a new standard for office developments in Glasgow, while also addressing the chronic undersupply that the city is currently facing."

Clearbell has appointed JLL and Avison Young as letting agents for the scheme.

Alistair Reid, head of JLL Glasgow and director, national office agency, commented: "One Five Zero St Vincent Street is unlike anything we've seen in the Glasgow office market before, so it's incredibly exciting to be able to bring this opportunity to market. Once complete, the building will provide the ideal space for forward-thinking, employee-centric businesses looking to make their mark on the city."

Michael Facenna, director, agency and transactions, at Avison Young, added: "With high-quality workspace in scarce supply in the city at the moment, we have no doubt that One Five Zero St Vincent Street is going to be incredibly popular. There really isn't anything else like this available in terms of quality, central location and access to skills and talent, and sustainability."

The contractor for the scheme is bam. Advisors on the project include Sheppard Robson (architecture), Woolgar Hunter (engineering), iceni (planning consultant), Atelier 10 (M&E) and Adams Consulting Group (project manager).
