Scottish Power eyes St Vincent Street for new Glasgow HQ
January 9 2012
The eyesore site at Charing Cross has lain derelict since 2008 when plans to erect a 39 storey tower by Elphinstone collapsed.
If successful the redevelopment would be rather more modest, housing around 220,000sq/ft of floorspace directly opposite Keppie’s planned St Vincent Plaza.
The 1.4 acre plot has been valued at £5m by agents.
Scottish Power's interest follows a breakdown in negotiations with Scottish Enterprise over an alternative site at 220 Broomielaw.

Something tall and bright right at the edge of the M8 would be a great visual advertisement for the modern, fresh, stylish metropolis Glasgow is becoming. As long as it's distinctive and in keeping with the vibe of the city.
