A MAJOR office development is being proposed for a site near the Broomielaw, part of which is occupied by Glasgow City Mission’s headquarters.

Phase two of Carrick Square would be on a third of a city block on land bounded by Brown Street, Crimea Street and Carrick Street.

It would be behind the 14-storey phase one building for which developer Soller Group has secured planning permission subject to legal agreements.

Pre-application consultation is starting for phase two. Online documents make no mention of what plans would be in place for relocating the City Mission and existing businesses on the site.

A statement on the consultation website simply asserts: “Carrick Square phase two will boast bright and contemporary workspace with spectacular views, that will help attract and retain the best talent.”
