The company behind a major new upgrade of an area of Rutherglen has been recognised for its outstanding contribution to the property industry in Scotland. Clyde Gateway received the Regional Committee Chair Award at the British Council for Offices (BCO) Scottish Awards Lunch 2025. Presented at a ceremony held at the Grand Central Glasgow Hotel, the award celebrates an organisation or individual whose long-standing work has made a significant and lasting impact on the commercial property sector in the region. Clyde Gateway, Scotland's largest and most ambitious regeneration programme, has played a transformative role in revitalising South Lanarkshire. As reported by Lanarkshire Live, the company unveiled proposals for a £500m vision to strengthen land in South Lanarkshire and Glasgow's east end at the UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) in Leeds. This will include a 150-bedroom hotel and 450 homes proposed for the redevelopment of the former Shawfield Stadium in Rutherglen. Since its inception in 2008, Clyde Gateway has delivered thousands of jobs, sustainable homes, and high-quality office, industrial and commercial developments, bringing opportunity and renewed confidence to an area once synonymous with post-industrial decline. Martin McKay, chief executive of Clyde Gateway, said: 'It is a huge honour to receive this award, and I'd like to thank the BCO for recognising the impact of Clyde Gateway's work over the past 16 years. "We've excelled in partnership, and this award reflects the efforts of many people, our partners, stakeholders and others who share our success. "Development and construction are great industries that we are proud to support. "While we're proud of what's been achieved, we're equally excited about the future, with a strong pipeline of projects that will continue to deliver economic growth, attract investment and improve lives in the years ahead." Peter Kerr, chair of the BCO Scottish committee, added: 'Clyde Gateway stands as a model of what long-term, place-based regeneration can achieve. "The scale and quality of its impact, both socially and economically, has set a new benchmark for our industry. "From creating award-winning business spaces to delivering inclusive growth in some of Scotland's most challenged communities, Clyde Gateway is a thoroughly deserving recipient of this year's Regional Committee Chair Award.'

Clyde Gateway reveals $668.5m regeneration initiative in UK
Clyde Gateway has unveiled a £500m ($668.5m) master plan to revolutionise more than 100 hectares of land in Glasgow and South Lanarkshire, Scotland, establishing a significant hub for innovation and green growth. The 'Clyde Gateway Innovation' programme, announced at the UK Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum in Leeds, England, is set to foster a mixed-use zone dedicated to manufacturing, life sciences, and sustainability. The proposals include commercial and lab-enabled office space, two hotels, and approximately 450 homes. The initiative is supported Glasgow City Council, South Lanarkshire Council, Scottish Enterprise, and academic collaborators such as the University of Strathclyde. The move aims to draw inward investment and bolster new employment opportunities in the advanced manufacturing and research sectors. Key developments include Innovation Central, a workspace and events building along the River Clyde; Red Tree Labs, a new lab facility in Shawfield with detailed planning consent and connections to an ambient loop heat network; and XWorks, a proposed 3,700m² manufacturing centre in Dalmarnock, with a planning application submitted earlier this month. Additionally, a 130-bed hotel near Dalmarnock station and a further 150-bed hotel as part of the Shawfield Stadium redevelopment, which also includes plans for 450 homes, are in the pipeline. South Lanarkshire Council has granted outline planning approval for the Shawfield master plan. The wider site offers additional development opportunities, much of which is already linked to low-carbon infrastructure as part of Clyde Gateway's strategy. Clyde Gateway has previously carried out projects in the area, including Topgolf and Cuningar Loop Woodland Park. Clyde Gateway CEO Martin McKay expressed that this project signifies the next step in the organisation's regeneration strategy, which integrates commercial, residential, and community-focused objectives. McKay said: 'With a focus on high-growth sectors like advanced manufacturing, life sciences and clean energy, this master plan reflects our ambition to create a place where innovation and community go hand in hand. 'We're building a sustainable, scalable ecosystem that will support everything from startups and university spin-outs to major employers, while continuing to deliver jobs, homes and opportunities for local people.' Scottish Enterprise property, growth infrastructure and major projects director Victoria Carmichael added: 'This ambitious new phase of the Clyde Gateway programme dovetails perfectly with our mission-based approach to transforming Scotland's economy. 'By collaborating with key partners, it's our ambition to help attract more investment to infrastructure-focused projects and accelerate the creation of world-class industrial accommodation that will function as growth hubs for high-value sectors such as advanced manufacturing.'
