Wow, the ultra-prominence of multi-storey car parks is a rash spreading quickly in Glasgow - in this case it's emblazoned with HARBOUR ....the lack of boats or water kinda suggests it's not actually a harbour .... unless newspeak for car parks is car-harbours...?

We would call the 'carbours' surely?

There's so many things wrong with this scheme: can Glasgow really absorb another shopping mall? This will kill Byres Road and Finnieston, and if not just become an empty unsustainable shell as the wider economy shrinks from retail. The new bridge being illustrated - does this open?- if not the Clyde is further nullified as no ships of any size can pass further up the river. How is the Waverley to sail under this bridge, and the Glenlee to every move? Lastly (lol) the architecture is abysmal: confused, overblown with the primary feature being a car park with no real connection to the two rivers (the Clyde and the Kelvin). The tower blocks to the river look exactly that - like tower blocks. The Riverside Museum, built with public funds, deserves better neighbours.

I agree Glasgow does not need another shopping mall. How about instead of a shopping mall a food market. Like the ones in London and the continent that have stalls for independant artisan food retailers

Livingston will feel the pinch when this opens.
Adds something to the Glesga retail mix and puts a bit of life back into the riverbank.

Retail offer is a bit small so hopefully there is space for a second stage -- Cheshire Oaks has 350K square feet of retail and that should be the benchmark.

Well that FOUR LANE junction into this hellscape looks inviting for pedestrians and cyclists to cross.

Abysmal planning as ever from Glasgow CC.

This development highlights the need to fill in the gap between the Transport Museum and the SECC.

Shape is not the most usable but the quay walls should be used to display ships with a Clyde background.

Starting with a Type 23 frigate and a Calmac ferry -- at some point Fergusons will finish the new units so there should be a spare to show off to the public.

Plus the Transport Museum is far too small.

Desperately needs a much larger dedicated space to show off the model ship collection and the motorsport angle should be enhanced.

While I recognise the trend on this site (and many others) is for instant dismissals of proposed designs, this genuinely isn't very good. The four towers along the riverfront look like post-war council blocks. The road layout remains abysmal for pedestrians (I speak as a former GH resident). And we don't need another shopping mall sucking what life remains out of Sauchiehall/Argyle/Hope/Union Street, let alone damaging neighbouring Dumbarton Road.

The proposed leisure amenities would be very welcome, but the people who sank their life savings into flats in Phases 1 and 2 of Glasgow Harbour were promised this (and more) fifteen years ago. What chance it'll actually happen this time?

Its like they've transplanted the worst elements of Eastkilbride and Hutchison Town to the banks of the River. Truly dismal.

I've been led to believe that this offering from Peel is targeting the high-end retail market such as designer outlets for westend hipsters, chavs with cash & aspirational suburbanites - so its unlikely to effect the city centre too much/or even Partick- Dumbarton Road is hardly a high-end retail destination.
The design brief is mediocre at best though= how can we connect the riverfront with the tried & tested infrastructure model of Partick/rest of the West End- does this design even try & reconnect to the wider city context? There really is no ambition to this scheme or any sense of trends happening in other waterfronts of Europe- can we not reference, even nominally, the likes of Copenhagen, Hamburg's Hafencity, Oslo ( although addmittedly they have got a lot wrong as well), Rotterdam, or Aarhus' Iceberg waterfront development- but then maybe something akin to Lyon's 'island' complexes would be more in scale with what ought to be Glasgow's ambition. Instead we're getting reheated Cardiff Bay or Salford Quay. Can we not even look closer to home, to Dundee, that has chosen to build in traditional 'Scottish' urban blocks at its waterfront (a well-tested solid model, even if some of the finish at Dundee is often typically British standard cheap/poor/value engineered). Well at least it could be worse, it could be the Battersea Power Station redevelopment.

Curious decision to make a model for this.

Would it not be better to angle the towers slightly to give more of the flats riverviews?

Hopefully Peel will up their game by at least 50% for this development. Their Lowry Outlet development is a very poor relation when you compare it to Cheshire Oaks never mind Bicester.

Big issue for the City -- if done well it will provide a much needed extra dimension to the retail offer in Scotland -- Livingston and Gretna are very far down the Outlet pecking order.

Next step is getting the airlines to offer shopper tickets -- extra baggage on the way home.
Improve links to Partick -- trains direct to Auld Reekie.
Look for expansion space -- area to the west or even the area to the north of the Transport Museum.
Move the tenant mix upmarket -- looks a bit Forger's Gazette rather than the FT.
Work up some plans for the "Sleeve" site east of the Transport Museum -- the quay offers space for a number of ships to park up.

As noted before the development is filler.
Much needed filler but filler none the less.

Hmmm....was that not where b listed scotway house used to be before it burned down?

A dogs breakfast of a design with nothing to commend it whatsoever. Is this spearheading a new architectural movement? Crapism - born in Glasgow in 2018

Has this already been approved?

Was it the residential teams day off? So they just decided to build 4 council block circa 1972 and plonk them on the side of the river to bump the numbers up...gee whizz
