en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, Scottish First Minister John Swinney visited the XWORKS site in the Dalmarnock area of Glasgow, officially launching the £11 million construction project. The project is expected to create 150 jobs and is led by urban regeneration company Clyde Gateway, co-funded by the UK government, Scottish Enterprise, and the Scottish Government. It aims to provide modern, energy-efficient production and office spaces for advanced manufacturing and small, high-value enterprises.

Located at the Dalmarnock Crossroads, XWORKS has a total gross floor area of approximately 2,735 square metres. It is adjacent to Dalmarnock Railway Station and close to the M8 and M74 motorways, offering convenient transport links. Designed by Stallan Brand Architecture and built by Heron Brothers Construction, the project is expected to be completed in early 2027. Upon completion, it will provide flexible sub-lease units and a shared courtyard, primarily targeting start-ups and growth-stage companies in fields such as advanced manufacturing, medical technology, renewable energy, and digital technology.

Martin McKay, Chief Executive of Clyde Gateway, stated that the project will transform derelict and contaminated land into a high-value manufacturing base, attracting more quality jobs to Dalmarnock. Since the establishment of Clyde Gateway, the area has seen the construction of 4,000 new homes, the creation of thousands of jobs, and the attraction of approximately £1.5 billion in public and private investment. Stallan Brand is an architectural design firm headquartered in Glasgow, founded by Paul Stallan and Alistair Brand in 2012. The firm designed the athletes' village for the 2014 Commonwealth Games and has participated in iconic Scottish projects such as the Falkirk Wheel. Heron Brothers Construction is a cross-regional construction and property development company with nearly 70 years of history, operating across the UK and Ireland, with an annual turnover exceeding £160 million. In relevant local plans for 2025, XWORKS has been designated as a priority key project within Glasgow's approximately £500 million innovation masterplan.
