Description:
A stylish new £10m restaurant quarter is to be created on
the waterfront within Glasgow city centre.
Glasgow City Council has chosen Wilson Bowden to develop 30,000
ft2 of pavilions which will house a series of bars,
restaurants and cafes on the banks of the River Clyde at the
Broomielaw, adjacent to the city's International Financial Services
District.
The Broomielaw Pavilions, built over two storeys and featuring a
striking "wave form" roof, will be situated on the north bank of
the river, next to a new pedestrian bridge linking Broomielaw with
Tradeston on the south side.
Along with the new bridge, the development is expected to play a
key role in the ongoing regeneration of the Clyde within the core
city centre and draw people to the waterfront.
The new project will bolster the
growing vibrancy of Atlantic Quay. The area earmarked for the
pavilions, adjacent to Robertson Street, is currently open space
owned by the city council. There is scope to extend the
project to the east into Clyde Place and to the west to Anderston
Quay.
Planning permission to be submitted by end of 2009.
