£100m Glasgow water park and spa resort next to Riverside Museum edges closer to reality

Plans for a huge indoor water park and spa resort in Glasgow have taken a step closer to becoming a reality.

The company behind the resort plans, Therme Group, have 'signed terms' with Peel L&P for their second UK wellbeing project on a 21.5 acre site next to the Riverside Museum on the banks of the River Clyde.

Insider reports that Therme are aiming to submit a planning application to Glasgow City Council early next year for the huge spa, which is expected to be around 320,000 sq ft in size and to cost around £100m to build.

As we reported back in September, the spa will include therapeutic mineral pools, warm water lagoons and a health and wellbeing centre, as well as a vertical farm where fresh produce will be grown for guests.

Plans for the water park and spa include for the construction of a bridge across the River Kelvin, linking the Riverside Museum to Therme Scotland and expanding access to the Glasgow waterfront.

A second community bridge could also be built by Glasgow City Council over the River Clyde, between Govan and Partick.

Therme Scotland will be the group's second wellbeing destination in the UK after the £250m Therme Manchester project, which is also based on a site owned by Peel L&P.
