A detailed planning application to create 200,000sq/ft of
office space in the IFSD has been submitted by
Soller Group.
Carrick Square will
stand between Brown Street and Carrick Street, connecting both with
a new pedestrian link and a landscaped plaza. Sheer glass
walls will rise through 14 storeys to a large roof terrace,
offering panoramic views across the River Clyde.
Nick Treadaway, founder and CEO of Soller Group, said:
"Whilst development across the world is currently paused, we are
very optimistic that resilient, forward-thinking businesses will
thrive again and continue to look for top-class space in one of the
UK's most vibrant cities. The need for ambitious world-class office
space will be paramount in the drive to bring new investment and
occupiers to Glasgow."
Neil Haining, director of Mosiac Architecture + Design,
added: "Our proposed design for Carrick Square responds to Soller
Group's vision for world-class business space to act as a catalyst
in the regeneration of the Broomielaw area, whilst respecting the
heritage and affection that surrounds the Clydeside. Key to our
proposal is a new carefully-considered public plaza joining Brown
and Carrick Streets with the new main entrance and providing much
needed public green space to the area."
