A new £9 million flagship office building has opened in Rutherglen, bringing with it 170 local jobs to the area.
Delivered by Clyde Gateway, Red Tree Magenta is the first office building at the new Magenta business park, a new 27-acre urban business park situated in Shawfield, next to the River Clyde and M74 motorway network.
Councillor John Ross, the leader of South Lanarkshire Council, was on hand to open the Grade A f 40,000 sq. ft modern premises, which is home to 30 tenant companies ranging from solo new-start businesses right through to larger established companies.
He said: “Clyde Gateway has a tremendous track record in bringing new jobs and opportunities to this particular part of South Lanarkshire.
"It made perfect sense for our council to invest over £3m to support the plans to accelerate the construction of Red Tree Magenta and to play our part in delivering what is an eye-catching and hugely impressive building."
Among the facilities at Red Tree Magenta are a Nespresso café, superfast fibre connections, collaborative working and breakout spaces, a garden roof terrace and electric car charging points.
And demand for the location has been so high that the building is already 100% let – years ahead of expectations.
