AM Alpha has announced it has commenced the creation of new flexible, fully-fitted workspaces on the ground floor of its office development at 200 Broomielaw in Glasgow.
The spaces, which range in size from 1,005 sq ft to 1,675 sq ft, will transform the ground floor and will be able to accommodate businesses of 16-30 people upon completion in Q4 2023, the firm said.
Featuring ‘high-quality’ finishes and ‘contemporary’ design throughout, including air conditioning and an abundance of natural light with waterfront views of the River Clyde, the flexible spaces come fully-fitted with ‘stylish’ and ‘modern’ furniture and smart, fully-enabled tech solutions, allowing businesses to simply plug-in and instantly commence work. There will also be a ‘vibrant’ business lounge with communal kitchen, breakout areas, and informal meeting spaces including private phone booths.
Christian Brode, director of asset management at AM Alpha, commented, “As part of our plan to create a top product that is right for the current market, we are thrilled to announce we’re building a variety of contemporary workspaces that are fully-fitted and ready to occupy. We wanted to take the hassle out of finding a new office and make it an easy experience for our occupiers by creating stunning offices that are ready to occupy from day one. The spaces are designed to boost productivity with private and quiet areas for concentration alongside shared spaces for teamwork and collaboration.”
The ground floor workspaces have been designed and delivered by turnkey fit-out specialist, Additae Valorem. They are being marketed for lease by joint letting agents JLL and Adapt Commercial Property.
Fergus Maclennan, of Adapt Commercial Property, added, “These are exciting and creative workspaces in the heart of Glasgow city centre with stunning waterfront views, complementing our larger full floor offering within 200 Broomielaw. As a result we now have a full range of suite sizes available from smaller flexible spaces between 1,005 sq ft and 1,675 sq ft on the ground floor and eight upper floors offering between 8,665 sq ft and 9,041 sq ft, enabling us to accommodate requirements up to 70,300 sq ft across consecutive floor plates.”
Alex Mackay of JLL commented, “200 Broomielaw is the ideal offering for occupiers in the current climate who want flexibility and may be reviewing their size requirements. We are confident that the building’s unique design and close proximity to amenities and transport links will ensure the new offices attract a great deal of interest from occupiers looking for smaller suites in central Glasgow.”
In June 2023, AM Alpha announced completion of a multi-million pound refurbishment project. All floors and common areas were overhauled, the entrance was relocated to the centre of the building and a new reception, business lounge and a dedicated concierge for all occupants was created.
It is described as Glasgow’s greenest office refurbishment with EPC ‘A’ and BREEAM ‘Excellent’ ratings achieved, and is fully electric from 100% renewable sources. In addition, 200 Broomielaw features a host of sustainability benefits including efficient new M&E services, electric car charging points and intelligent LED lighting. Facilities to support active travel have been included in the building with a Platinum CycleScore Certification achieved. There is also a wellness suite with yoga studio and gym-style changing rooms within the basement.
