Homebuilder Cala Homes (West) has moved into a new HQ in Glasgow - relocating from its former base in Falkirk.
Cala's West Scotland team of 80 office and operations staff is now based at the McLellan Works building on Sauchiehall Street.
This significant strategic relocation reflects a shift in the homebuilder’s vision for the West of Scotland region and bolsters its commitment to Glasgow and surrounding suburbs.
It said that the investment in the city creates an opportunity to strengthen its focus as a business, not only within Cala’s current portfolio with its flagship developments such as Jordanhill Park in the West End and Prince’s Quay in Media City, but into the future, as its land team actively seeks more land acquisitions in the city and beyond.
The new 5,700 sq. ft home on Sauchiehall Street allows for home and office working, while providing an environment that encourages collaborative working and sustainable travel to work.
The new state-of-the-art space has been kitted out with features including ‘living walls’, collaborative meeting spaces, hot desks, library desks and ultra-modern kitchen facilities.

The move was led by newly appointed Managing Director for the West of Scotland, Gordon Craig. He said: “The move to our new home at the McLellan Works building in Glasgow is something we’ve been working towards for some time, so it is great to finally be here and play a role in the regeneration of this part of the city.
"“The buzz about Glasgow is undeniable and the opportunity to get out and meet partners and colleagues here in the city is fantastic, offering the perfect backdrop to really develop our business in the strategic and sustainable way we envision.
“This move creates a real opportunity to strengthen our focus as a West of Scotland business, re-imagine the purpose and culture of our office, and adapt to new ways of working.”
Cala has been involved in developments across Glasgow for a number of years, with its flagship development Jordanhill Park now four years into its masterplan. The region currently has 12 live developments and future sites that will provide 425 new homes per year by 2025.
The central location of McLellan Works brings the team closer to the business’ numerous developments across west and central Scotland, including Prince’s Quay in Glasgow, Gilchrist Gardens in Renfrewshire, Balgray Gardens in Newton Mearns and Sequoia Meadows in Jackton.
