Clyde Gateway is using this year’s UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) to launch a partner opportunity for the first phase of its Shawfield site.
The opportunity will be formally brought to market today on the Glasgow Stand at the conference in Leeds, focusing on innovation-led industrial space, reinforcing the area’s role as a hub for advanced manufacturing, science and technology.
Backed by nearly two decades of delivery, Clyde Gateway has already helped unlock more than £1.5bn of inward investment, with around £100m of development currently underway. This latest announcement moves from long-term regeneration to an established, investable platform.
Previous developments such as EastWorks, which has attracted a cluster of occupiers across advanced manufacturing, cyber and space technology, including Simera Sense, Utopi, HyImpulse and Acumen Cyber.
Clyde Gateway Innovation’s pipeline includes XWORKS, Red Tree Labs and the next phase of development at Shawfield. The proposition is underpinned by partnerships with Glasgow City Council, South Lanarkshire Council, Scottish Enterprise and the University of Strathclyde.
Plans for Shawfield Phase 1
Martin McKay, chief executive of Clyde Gateway, said: “Launching the strategic partner opportunity for Shawfield Phase 1 at UKREiiF marks a major moment in the delivery of Clyde Gateway Innovation and in Glasgow’s wider investment narrative.
“Bringing Shawfield Phase 1 to market demonstrates both the scale of opportunity and our readiness to collaborate to accelerate delivery.”
Steven Hendry, senior director at CBRE, commented: “Innovation Shawfield Phase 1 stands out as a compelling investment proposition.
“That is exactly what investors are looking for in the current market – locations where infrastructure is in place, risk is reduced and there is clear evidence of momentum.”
Alisdair Gunn, director at Glasgow City Innovation District, added: “The strength of the proposition lies not only in the quality of the space being delivered, but in the collaboration underpinning it; linking industry, academia, innovation and investment in a way that supports long-term economic growth and business scale-up.”
