New workspaces launched at retrofitted Glasgow gas purifier shed
New contemporary business space has been released in Dalmarnock by Red Tree, one of Glasgow’s most established collaborative workspace brands, adding to their locations in Bridgeton and Magenta business park in Rutherglen.
With interior design provided by commercial specialists Bell & Swift, Red Tree Eastworks offers a range of options for tenants from hot desking to dedicated suites.
The site is set within a former Victorian-era gas purifier shed. The structure was recently retrofitted as part of the EastWorks development by Clyde Gateway and opened by the Deputy First Minister, Shona Robison MSP.
EastWorks is the fourth development for Red Tree which has been providing high quality workspace in the east end of Glasgow and Rutherglen for almost 15 years.
The Grade A flexible workspaces range from 322 sq ft to 3,448 sq ft, meaning there are spaces for up to teams of 50. There are a range of work solutions available including business club membership providing hot desking and a business address. There is a premium dedicated desk rental option, and dedicated flexible suites are also available for rent.
Red Tree is operated by Clyde Gateway, Scotland’s largest regeneration company, which has been developing numerous commercial and industrial spaces in the east end of Glasgow and in Rutherglen as part of its wider regeneration programme.
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 who provided interior design for the new space, 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.”
