A construction firm has been appointed to deliver a £25m development near Glasgow Airport.

Property developer Canmoor has enlisted Muir Construction to begin working on the Westway development which will consist of two high-quality industrial warehouse units with loading bays and offices. 

It will take between approximately 12 and 15 months to complete the units on the 13-acre site. 

'Westway 90' will be 86,630 sq ft in size while 'Westway 200' will be 202,230 sq ft.

The larger unit will be capable of being split into two units of 91,110 sq ft and 118,140 sq ft.

There will be dedicated car parking, HGV parking and an extensive yard space up to 50 metres deep.

Each unit is designed to be 'all electric' with electric car charging points, provision for PV panels and air source heat pumps.

Gregor King, Canmoor’s asset manager at Westway said: “We are pleased to see Muir Construction start works here at Westway.

"We look forward to bringing this “best in class” sustainable development opportunity to the market over the next year or so.

"We anticipate strong demand for the space due to the quality of the buildings being developed and the continued strength of the industrial and logistics market in the west coast of Scotland.”

The development aims to provide quick and direct access from Westway to junction 28 of the M8 via the recently opened Barnwell Street bridge, as well as to Glasgow Airport and the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS).

It will be adjacent to the recently opened Filshill distribution centre and has the potential to attract further new businesses and bring employment opportunities to the area.

Alan Muir, managing director of Muir Construction, added: “We are delighted to be able to start construction on site at Westway.

"We have extensive experience of industrial developments and look forward to delivering a high-quality end product, to meet market demand.”
