Glasgow urban regeneration project is a labour of Love

THOMAS & Adamson has revealed details of its role in creating a new urban regeneration project in Glasgow city centre.

The business has provided support for the new Love Loan development, which has turned a historic but disused corner into a new destination for hotel accommodation, residential living and hospitality.

The block, at the corner of George Square, was home to the Glasgow Parish Halls, including the Collectors Hall and has undergone a complete reinvention. The first occupants include an AC by Marriott hotel and the restaurant Hazel.

Thomas & Adamson has been involved since the start of the project in 2015, providing cost consultation and procurement support to ensure the scheme was delivered on time and to budget for client, Chris Stewart Group.

Neil Morey, associate director at Thomas & Adamson, said, “At Thomas & Adamson, we have a history of working on projects which rejuvenate city centres and Love Loan is the latest example of this. The regeneration of urban areas will continue to be vitally important in driving economic growth and play a major role in the future of the construction sector.

“It’s always a productive experience to work with dedicated partners such as Chris Stewart Group on projects such as Love Loan, and it is great to see the project nearing completion, bringing new life to George Square and the surrounding area.”

Tim Currie, project director at CSG, added, “The opening of the AC Hotel Glasgow and Hazel is a significant milestone in the Love Loan development, and in the regeneration of this corner of Glasgow city centre. It is our hope that Love Loan will set a precedent for future development in the city.”
