Cala West Team Completes Move To New Glasgow HQ

Construction News Image
Cala West has announced their successful relocation from Falkirk to Glasgow.

The team have taken up residence in the renowned McLellan Works building on Sauchiehall Street, reaffirming Cala's commitment to the city by bringing its operations and office team, made up of around 80 skilled roles - closer to its core Glasgow and West of Scotland market.

This significant strategic relocation reflects a shift in Cala's vision for the West of Scotland region and bolsters our commitment to Glasgow, and its surrounding suburbs.

The investment in the city creates a real opportunity to strengthen our focus as a business, not only within Cala's current portfolio with our flagship developments such as Jordanhill Park in the West End and Prince's Quay in Media City, but into the future, as our land team actively seeks more land acquisitions in the city and beyond.

The new 5,700 sq. ft home on Sauchiehall Street provides greater flexibility for our team, facilitating a blend of home and office working, whilst fostering an office environment that encourages even more collaborative working and sustainable travel to work.

The new state-of-the-art space has been kitted out with features including 'living walls', collaborative meeting spaces, hot desks, library desks and ultra-modern kitchen facilities, all maximising natural light making it an attractive place for team work to be creative.

The move was led by newly appointed Managing Director for the West of Scotland, Gordon Craig, who is passionate about reaffirming Cala's commitment to the Glasgow area. He said: "The move to our new home at the McLellan Works building in Glasgow is something we've been working towards for some time, so it is great to finally be here and play a role in the regeneration of this part of the city.

"The buzz about Glasgow is undeniable and the opportunity to get out and meet partners and colleagues here in the city is fantastic, offering the perfect backdrop to really develop our business in the strategic and sustainable way we envision.

"This move creates a real opportunity to strengthen our focus as a West of Scotland business, re-imagine the purpose and culture of our office, and adapt to new ways of working."

Councillor Angus Millar, Convener for City Centre Recovery at Glasgow City Council, said: "We welcome the move of Cala West to McLellan Works, something which is a very positive development for Glasgow city centre, and which I am sure will be a successful move for the company. The continued success of McLellan Works in attracting businesses shows both the value of the investment made in this part of Sauchiehall Street and reflects the confidence that investors have in the wider city centre."

Our West region currently has 12 live developments and future sites that will provide 425 new homes per year by 2025.

The central location of McLellan Works brings the team closer to the business' numerous developments across west and central Scotland, including the aforementioned Jordanhill Park as well as Prince's Quay in Glasgow, Gilchrist Gardens in Renfrewshire, Balgray Gardens in Newton Mearns and Sequoia Meadows in Jackton.
