It is intended that it will be a striking addition to the Skypark complex and the materials for the new building will work within the familiar Skypark style of silver-grey metal panelling to the Houldsworth side of the building with this material returning on the side elevations up to the service cores.
The service cores would be clad using an anthracite coloured wall cladding panel system. On the south side of the building which faces into the Skypark complex, the developer has proposed to use render with the top two storeys having glazed curtain walling.
The building will be located on the Houldsworth Street car park of the Skypark complex and forms part of Skypark’s masterplan to help regenerate the Anderson/Finnieston area of Glasgow which includes hotels, retail, leisure and future office facilities.
With SECC, the Armadillo, Pacific Quay and others. Skypark's vision is creating a vibrant and dramatic gateway into the city from the west.
Skypark’s Development Manager Michael Dillon said: "With its immediacy to the M8 and Clydeside Expressway, and excellent public transport infrastructure on its doorstep, Skypark is a landmark within this new gateway to the city of Glasgow. Its current architecture and proposed development plans show Glasgow as the city to invest in and relocate to.
"Skypark continues to act as an ambassador to what Glasgow is capable of delivering."
