“The Egyptian Halls and the location continue to give advantages which are considerably greater than other potential projects elsewhere in the city.”

Inward Investment expert July 09

The proposed preservation and return to commercial sustainability after nearly 30 years neglect of this world renowned architectural masterpiece will accentuate for the ultimate end users a significant commercial opportunity long overdue. Once one of the city’s primary trading thoroughfares it is now surely due the level of infrastructural investment, this project being the beginning with more to be scheduled there is no doubt, this will be the kick-start to this strategic regeneration.

Glasgow City Council and Historic Scotland have indicated they will give Planning and Listed Building Consent to the options proposed, subject of course to all aspects being reconciled accordingly.

Circa, 60,000- 80,000 sq.ft. of restored and extended space over 9 to 13 floors floors including basement areas. To include a 160-215 Bedroom hotel on Upper Floors, Retail and or Restaurant/Bars on Ground Floors and Business Centre or Gym in Basement area.

The extra floors/rooms sought are underpinned by expert market commentary.

“I would confirm that the market presently would be robust enough to take the larger room numbers in such a good location.”
