Green light for £100m Clydeside retail outlet
Councillors have approved plans for the Glasgow Harbour Lifestyle Outlet to be developed on land bordered by both the River Clyde and River Kelvin.
The new £100m outlet will feature over 70 shops, a 12-screen cinema, a gym, a five-storey car park and around ten food and drink venues.
Peel Lifestyle Outlets believe that the investment into the city will deliver a new waterfront destination on the river Clyde along with thousands of associated retail and construction jobs, revitalising a key gap site and making Glasgow ‘a city on the river not by the river’.
Jason Pullen, Peel Lifestyle Outlets’ managing director, said: “Shopping has evolved to become a major leisure activity. We are creating the next generation of outlet destination by delivering a balanced combination of exciting leisure and entertainment with a strong retail offering. Glasgow Harbour Lifestyle Outlet will have a multi-generational appeal, as operators are supported by events, activities and performance space.”
