WASHINGTON EXCHANGE - A MAJOR PRE-LET WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY IN THE CENTRE OF GLASGOW Over the last 20 years, Glasgow’s Broomielaw area (next to the River Clyde) has undergone significant regeneration and public realm investment. This has seen it mature as a business location within the city’s International Financial Services District. Home to thousands of office occupiers, a wide range of professional, government and financial services businesses have chosen to locate in the area attracted by the many top quality buildings which have been developed.

With the new riverfront walkways and public areas, the pedestrian bridge over the river, planned restaurant development and potential arrival of the new Fastlink public transport system, the area looks forward to further evolution and progress.

Glasgow is one of the UK’s major cities and further details on its attractive lifestyle offer, education, grant support and other background information can be found by accessing www.ifsdglasgow.co.uk

WASHINGTON EXCHANGE - GLASGOW - A GREAT PLACE FOR GLOBAL TALENT, TECHNOLOGY AND SKILLS

Glasgow is Scotland‘s largest city and a great place to live and work. Its half hour drive population catchment area of well over 1 million people, supports a vibrant retail and central business district. In addition to a massive expansion in the retail and leisure offering, the city has seen major growth in its office stock through phases of development in the traditional core and the new corporate buildings in the Broomielaw area down to the River Clyde. Offering a fantastic quality of life and a friendly culture, the city has a wide range of Scottish and international service sector and financial services companies. Glasgow’s central business district continues to evolve as the economy broadens, whilst the city also continues to attract major commercial property development investment typified by the two major speculative office schemes at 110 Queen Street and One West Regent Street. The city has boosted its profile and targeted a wide range of financial services occupiers over the last ten years through the now well established International Financial Services District (IFSD).

WASHINGTON EXCHANGE - A RIVERSIDE VISTA WITH ALL THE AMENITIES OF A CITY CENTRE LOCATION

The next area for development is this West Broomielaw zone which lies just immediately adjacent to earlier major developments but still firmly within the core central business district. Already anchored by the very substantial Pentagon Centre, the existing Kentigern House office building occupied by Ministry of Defence and the Menzies hotel, this location offers development potential and an opportunity for an occupier to locate in a new facility where their staff will enjoy all the public transport links and renowned retail and leisure facilities Glasgow’s city centre has to offer.

WASHINGTON EXCHANGE - DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY IN THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES DISTRICT (IFSD)

“The City Council welcomes this latest city centre waterfront offering and believes that the joint marketing approach of both unique sites will result in an outstanding development opportunity for the IFSD”.

Tom Turley, Assistant Executive Director, Development and Regeneration Services, Glasgow City Council.

The Opportunity at Washington ExchangeRecognising this site’s almost unique development potential, Marlebone Ltd and Scottish Enterprise have combined forces to promote this substantial highly visible riverfront site to major users and occupiers on a pre-let basis.

The SiteComprising half an entire city block, the subject property lies just to the east of the M8, Kingston Bridge and south of Argyle Street, one of the city’s main access roads from the Clydeside Expressway. With approximately 70 metres of river frontage onto the Broomielaw, the site is bounded by Washington Street, the Broomielaw and McAlpine Street.

Development is also planned on the neighbouring cleared development sites and this offers up the potential for phased development with altered public street layouts, etc.

The site extends to approximately 1.69 acres (0.68 hectares).

Planning BackgroundOver recent years a number of redevelopment schemes have been promoted for this site, some involving tower developments and major international hotels. Although the economic downturn post 2008 has precluded any of these concepts from being realised, the city and the site owners still hold to this vision for development. Glasgow City Council will welcome any party seeking to undertake major development at this location, particularly a major occupier or hotel operator.

An indication of the site’s flexible potential can be seen in the images within this brochure and by the fact that the 65 Washington Street portion alone has outline planning consent for 250,000 sq ft of Grade A Office space, 20,000 sq ft of retail and 25 apartments
