Network Rail and its joint venture development partner blocwork want to build offices on a 1.85 acre vacant site adjacent to Queen Street railway station in Glasgow.
The proposal includes a new station entrance from North Hanover Street, enhanced station retail space, public spaces, and other station improvements.
Future phases of the project could see commercial space totalling 40,000 square metres, as well as residential development.
Design is led by Scotland-based architecture practice, the Comprehensive Design Partnership (CDA), in collaboration with Arup.
Robin Dobson, group property director for Network Rail, said: “It’s an exciting time for Glasgow as the city’s recovery gains momentum with ambitious transformation and public realm projects being brought forward.
“Aligning with Glasgow’s 2030 City Centre Strategy, the plans unlock and transform disused railway land at the heart of the city, to enhance the station and create modern, connected spaces for people to live and work.
“The development is a great example of public and private sector collaboration, to deliver investment and community benefit. It is a real statement of our confidence in Glasgow and the potential for continued future growth.”
