A planning application has been approved to redevelop a 1960s office block in the heart of the city centre into a new landmark building.
BAM Properties plan to create a new office and retail
development in a prominent position on the corner of Queen Street
and Ingram Street, on the site, which is located opposite the
Gallery of Modern Art.
The new building will have a sleek, contemporary, curved
glass façade and will provide 143,000 sq ft of office
space over 8 floors. The ground and mezzanine levels will feature
retail and leisure units spanning a further 23,000 sq ft, which
will be accessed from Ingram Street.
At basement level there will be 56 car paking spaces and cycle
storage.
The developers are working to ensure the highest environmental
standards are reached by the building and aim to secure a BREEAM
'Excellent' rating.
