Capella : Atlantic Quay - News Update 21 Apr 2009 Architect: BDP Planning submission by the Capella Group for £90m Atlantic Quay development in Glasgow's IFSD : two office buildings + six-storey, 150-bed hotel. Located on site between James Watt Street and York Street. A public square will also be created along with shops and leisure facilities and developers hope to include a health club and conference centre. The company is retaining the A-Listed warehouse facade on James Watt Street, built in the mid-19th century. In 1968 the street was the scene of a major tragedy when 22 people died in a fire in an upholstery factory. The two office buildings will total 227,000 sq ft and there will be a covered courtyard, which developers see as a key feature. The council has already granted outline planning permission for a number of elements of the project and Capella Group is now seeking approval for a revised scheme. Previously: This Clydeside project involves around £120m of office development (400,000 sqft), a new financial district for Glasgow extending along the Broomielaw. Atlantic Quay has access to Junction 19 of the M8 motorway with Argyle Street underground station close by. image by gm+ad architects, drawing by Alan Dunlop Related development: SEEL, 5 Atlantic Quay, 150 Broomielaw Related gm+ad Project: Anderson Quay Related gm+ad Project: Glasgow Bridge Competition: Adjacent to gm+ad architects Atlantic Quay building are three offices by BDP Architects: Atlantic Quay - BDP Masterplan The three buildings are Phase I of the BDP Masterplan for Atlantic Quay, extending the Glasgow's commercial area into Broomielaw.
