Frasers Property acquired the majority ownership of the 419-acre Business Park in September 2017.

Work on the new 1,800-square-feet scheme, located close to the Park’s main entrance at Junction 26 on the busy M8 motorway will begin today with the development due to for completion in May 2020.

The scheme will be located next to the car dealerships cluster including Taggarts Volvo and Jaguar, Arnold Clark Renault and Dacia and the forthcoming Harry Fairburn BMW and MINI and will have parking for up to 31 vehicles.

Grant Edmondson, commercial director for Hillington Park, said: “We are delighted to have secured Starbucks for Hillington Park. The development will not only add to the range of food and drink options for our customers, but also will offer another space for the community to connect.

“We are working on a number of refurbishment and new-build projects which are likely to come forward in 2020 as part of Frasers Property’s strategy to deliver more bespoke buildings for occupiers and speculative industrial units to meet market demand.”
