A central Glasgow office block is now fully operational following a redevelopment to provide 101,000 sq/ft of grade A floorspace.

Developed by Orion Capital Managers on behalf of Orion European Real Estate Fund V, Lucent Glasgow is situated at the eastern end of Bothwell Street.  

Mosaic and 10 Design have collaborated to deliver best-in-class sustainability credentials in line with evolving occupier demands for prime office space, utilising natural or recycled materials throughout the design and construction process. Lucent is fully operationally carbon net zero, features WiredScore Platinum connectivity, and an EPC ‘A’ rating.

It also boasts 5,000 sq ft of ground floor amenity space dedicated to staff interaction and wellbeing, including breakout areas, an AV suite, tenant lounge, artisan café, and yoga studio.  

Richard Low, Orion Capital Managers, said: “With industry-leading amenity offerings and suitability credentials, Lucent is set to play an important role in satisfying the increasing corporate occupier demand for top-quality, well located space in Glasgow city centre. Our extensive redevelopment of the asset was initiated with this in mind and has successfully created a state-of-the-art office building while paying homage to the site’s unique architectural character.

“The redevelopment of Lucent aligns with Orion’s wider strategy to gain exposure to leasing risk in best-in-class offices in some of the most supply-constrained locations across Europe.”

The name Lucent was chosen for the development to reflect the buildings’ access to natural light on all sides, as well as its central light-filling atrium and multiple upper roof terraces offering unrivalled views of Glasgow city centre.

The building was originally built between 1892-1900 and has been meticulously redeveloped and restored by Orion into an asset that adheres to the expected standards of modern-day prime office space. As part of the redevelopment, Orion retained the elegant sandstone façade which was a striking feature of the original building.
