Location: Pacific Quay, Glasgow G51 1EA

The Digital Media Quarter @ Pacific Quay presents a unique opportunity to create a highly distinctive, dedicated business location for Scotlands digital media industries.

• Pacific Quay provides a physical focus for new media activities in Glasgow through a range of property solutions incorporating commercial, leisure and retail uses.
• A landmark location overlooking the River Clyde in the heart of Glasgow offers the proximity and convenience of the city centre with the high-quality working environment of a low density business park.
• Easy commuting and transportation by road, rail and air which would be improved by the development of Clyde Fastlink.
• A range of exciting opportunities are currently available for developers and occupiers.

The project is a key initiative in Scottish Enterprises strategy for the digital markets sector, which aims to develop Scotlands involvement in key growth markets enabled by digital content and technologies.

The site, which extends to around five hectares, will feature a wide range of uses including business, leisure and tourism, cultural and work/live accommodation. The potential use of the adjoining 5ha Canting Basin is also being investigated by Scottish Enterprise. Key anchor tenants on the neighbouring Pacific Quay site include BBC Scotland, which features the most advanced broadcasting centre in Europe, Scottish Television, Glasgow Science Centre, Galaxy FM and Film City Glasgow.

The masterplan for the Digital Media Quarter makes provision for around 30,000m² of built development. To support the creation of a new media community, the proposals also include amenity uses such as retail, commercial and leisure as well as new floorspace for business. Scottish Enterprise is delivering the Digital Media Quarter in partnership with Glasgow City Council and the private sector via the provision of serviced plots for development, on a bespoke or speculative basis.

The first speculative development on the DMQ, Medius, was completed in April 2008 and was subsequently purchased late 2008 by BIP Solutions, a leading edge procurement solutions business.

A second development, The Hub, providing 6,800m² of high tech space and cafe for up to 50 SMEs, opened in February 2009. Glasgow School of Arts Digital Design Studio (DDS) occupies one floor of The Hub. Shed Media, one of the UKs leading independent production companies, has also become a tenant.
