The Greenlaw Works in Newton Mearns, a £5 million workspace developed by the East Renfrewshire Council as part of the Glasgow City Region City Deal, has officially opened.
Created in response to a local demand for high quality, flexible office accommodation, the centre is already delivering on its goals to stimulate economic growth and create businesses and employment opportunities. Since opening in September 2022, 75% of the floorspace is now occupied by 26 businesses from a diverse range of sectors including finance, law, architecture, marketing and logistics.
Council Leader Owen O'Donnell said: "It's been fantastic to meet some of the business owners based at The Greenlaw Works and hear about how this flexible, contemporary workspace is helping to support their companies to develop and grow. This Glasgow City Region City Deal project was made possible thanks to the support of both UK and Scottish Governments and I thank them for joining us in marking the official opening of the building."
Featuring an impressive central atrium, the 20,000 sq.ft building comprises 35 office suites, meeting rooms, breakout areas and a co-working lounge with a Business Gateway presence onsite.
Located in Newton Mearns, 20 mins from Glasgow and adjacent to the M77 junction 4, businesses based at The Greenlaw Works have access to ample parking, cycle racks and a range of shops, restaurants and a hotel within Greenlaw Village.
The facility was completed and due to open in Spring 2020 but remained temporarily closed due to the global pandemic, with the car park serving as a Covid testing centre until last year.
As part of the £44 million Glasgow City Region City Deal investment in East Renfrewshire, plans are under way to improve transport links between Barrhead, Newton Mearns and the M77, create a new train station in Barrhead and enhance tourism at Dams to Darnley Country Park.
