Glasgow Garden Festival site to finally be transformed after 34 years

A Glasgow site which has lain derelict for 34 years is now set to be transformed into apartments, restaurants, offices and shops.

The plans for the land at Pacific Quay, which formed part of the Garden Festival, are finally moving forward. It is understood 35 homes, units for retail, offices and cafes or restaurants and 50 parking spaces are part of the bid.

Surplus Property Solutions had submitted plans to Glasgow City Council for a mixed use development on the vacant spot near the River Clyde. It was approved after an appeal with a statement pointing out the site has been empty for 34 years despite being marketed for office uses.
