NEW business space has been released in Dalmarnock in Glasgow’s east end by Red Tree, adding to its already established locations in Bridgeton and Magenta business park in Rutherglen.
With interior design provided by Bell & Swift, Red Tree Eastworks offers new workspaces with a range of options for tenants, ranging from hot desking to dedicated suites. The site is set within a former Victorian era gas purifier shed. The structure was retrofitted as part of the EastWorks development by Clyde Gateway and opened by deputy first minister, Shona Robison MSP.
EastWorks is the fourth development for Red Tree which has been providing workspace in the east end of Glasgow and Rutherglen for almost 15 years. The Grade A flexible work spaces range from 322 sq ft to 3,448 sq ft.
Red Tree is operated by regeneration specialist Clyde Gateway. Lisa Miller, project manager at Clyde Gateway, said, “Clyde Gateway was proud to regenerate this derelict site and Red Tree can now offer collaborative work spaces suited to the modern hybrid work environment, bringing more jobs and investment into the east end of Glasgow. Red Tree at EastWorks is beautifully designed and provides a superb experience for employees and businesses, with excellent amenities on site.
“Through our other Red Tree offerings in Bridgeton and Rutherglen, we understand the current market and we know these sorts of workspaces that are well connected and of very high quality are hugely desirable for businesses and organisations of all sizes.”
Craig McKie, creative director at Bell & Swift, added, “We wanted this space to provide a modern, collaborative workspace, yet recognise the Victorian roots of the building and the industrial heritage of the local community. The bold colour palette takes inspiration from Glasgow’s heritage of turkey red dye, as well as the weaving industry that was once such a key part of Dalmarnock.
“Ultimately, we wanted to provide a space that can be enjoyed and be a place where people want to spend time. Alongside Red Tree and Clyde Gateway, I believe we have transformed a derelict structure into a workspace that rivals any in the city, whilst ensuring the building doesn’t lose any of its charm.”
