On behalf of Downtown Space Properties, Cooper Cromar are pleased to announce
that Dawn Construction have commenced work on The Hub building at Pacific
Quay in Glasgow.
The Hub commands a prominent South-Eastern corner plot within the emerging
Digital Media Quarter, strengthening Scottish Enterprise’s vision
for Glasgow’s creative community on the south side of the River Clyde.
The Hub will sit alongside existing occupiers such as the BBC, SMG, Film
City Glasgow and the Science Centre.
Due for completion in February 2009, the £12.75m development comprises
of 73,500 sq.ft of highly flexible managed business space in some fifty
small to medium sized units targeted at digital media and creative industry
based companies, a central market square, café bar and neighbourhood
shopping. The Hub is being developed with the full support of Scottish
Enterprise Glasgow.
The Digital Design Studio, an arm of the Glasgow School of Art, is poised
to take 20% of the building and plans are already well advanced to house
its state of the art 3D digital projection studio, rivaling that of any
in the world.
As a separate enterprise, the Digital Design Studio and Arup Acoustics
also plan a joint venture enterprise which includes a high-tech Sound
Lab to develop and marry 3D environments with acoustic technology.
