Pinkston Basin, Glasgow

This unique site, effectively an ‘island’ formed by the now largely redundant canal (the Glasgow end of the Forth and Clyde Canal, which linked to Edinburgh), is located just 1.5km from Glasgow city centre. The development is an entirely new urban quarter, and provides 60,000sq.m of retail space, restaurants & bars, private & social residential units, a 240-bed hotel, student housing and flexible offices of varying size. The importance of the street as a social generator is seen as key to the success of this development.
