Clyde Gateway
Clyde Gateway is an Urban Regeneration Company, centred along the River Clyde corridor covering over 2,000 acres in both Glasgow and South Lanarkshire Councils and is a Scottish national regeneration priority.
Over £1.5 billion has been invested in major infrastructure, remediation and energy projects to de-risk and prepare for development, with Clyde Gateway continuing to deliver an ambitious programme of significant new investments including new business space, homes, low carbon district heat networks, improved infrastructure and biodiversity with the aim of attracting additional investment, businesses and new jobs. Since Clyde Gateway’s inception, almost 4000 homes have been built, and 8,000 jobs created in a maturing regeneration area.
Investment to date in Clyde Gateway has been designed to unlock development potential by the adoption of long-term sustainable approaches to infrastructure reuse and development, and we are delighted that once again, the area will host the Commonwealth Games in 2026.
Dalmarnock train station, one of three stations located within Clyde Gateway, provides up to 6 trains per hour to Glasgow Central and beyond. National cycling routes allow for additional modes of active travel.
Clyde Gateway Innovation
Clyde Gateway Innovation supports a diverse community of companies, institutions, tenants, and users. With a long-term, strategic, mixed-use vision, it offers occupiers and investors exciting opportunities across all property sectors including science, technology and advanced manufacturing.
Forward funding and partnership delivery of key mixed use development opportunities is sought which could ultimately deliver approximately 1,000,000sq.ft of mixed use commercial business space, which it is planned will include a variety of High Value Manufacturing (HVM), lab enabled office, industrial/logistics and collaborative workspace developments, with a blended, market facing proposition offering units in sizes ranging from 1,500 to 100,000sq.ft.
The Clyde Gateway Innovation masterplan also includes other opportunities for residential led developments, with in excess of 600 homes as well as a hotel use and ancillary retail. Finally, the ‘Clyde Gateway Innovation’ proposition identifies a range of potential private sector led development opportunities at various stages of delivery.
‘Clyde Gateway Innovation’ benefits from an upgraded railway station, bus infrastructure, and walking and cycling routes. It offers a highly accessible location that is low risk and development ready, with genuine net zero ambition at significant savings to city centre locations.
The area is served by both a Combined Heat and Power District Heating System as well as Scotland’s first 5th generation district heating and cooling network, which uses low temperature closed loop systems, with heat pump technology linked to individual buildings, which offer low carbon sustainable solutions in the transition to net zero.
‘Clyde Gateway Innovation’ has the potential to increase the take-up of renewable technologies and make them more cost efficient and effective as well as establishing climate mitigation measures including enhanced ESG and biodiversity outcomes.
Capacity for new low carbon development includes:
- Laboratories
- Hotel / Leisure
- Riverside commercial developments
- Residential units
- Creative workspaces
- High Value Manufacturing premises
Innovation Central
Clyde Gateway’s own development pipeline, which comprises only a fraction of the overall development potential, currently includes the following six schemes, all of which will be designed to be BREEAM ‘Excellent’, EPC ‘A’ rated and target net zero in operational use (subject to tenant):

XWorks
40,000sq.ft of hybrid High Value Manufacturing (HVM) industrial space supporting innovation and collaboration through a blended provision of offices, lab space, incubator and HVM serviced production areas suitable for either 1, 2, 3 or 4 end users (in 10,000sq.ft increments) and a variety of uses.
The flexible new building at Dalmarnock North will deliver internal floorspace of up to 3,725sq.m (40,000sq.ft). Use of flexible design, sub-divisible footprints and mezzanines will determine the final building size, but it will be of suitable specification to accommodate multiple concurrent HVM occupiers across a broad range of markets, such as engineering, research & development, medical, renewable energy, bioscience and digital sectors. Inherent flexibility will allow occupiers to adapt the internal space to meet their specific requirements including laboratory or clean room environments. By offering units on license agreements and short to medium term leases, tenants will be able to tailor their property needs to align more closely with their business plan objectives to readily facilitate growth.
The building will include a range of environmental/sustainable features to assist occupiers in meeting their ESG and Net Zero objectives and target a BREEAM rating of “Excellent” and an “A” EPC rating. It will have a provision to help occupiers minimise energy use such as low energy LED lighting with daylight sensors; off; roof mounted solar panels to provide power generation capacity and scope for further energy savings. Finally, the units in the building will also connect to Clyde Gateway’s district heating network (DHN) providing a low carbon heat source.
