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.

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.
