The Student Loans Company (SLC) has successfully finished constructing its new office headquarters in Glasgow. This Clyde-based new office marks the completion of the Buchanan Warf initiative. This building is the outcome of five years of extensive planning and construction.
Developers of the project focused on erecting a six-story, 75,000-square-foot office building in the last leg. This unit will serve as the headquarters for the SLC. In the coming days, this structure will undergo interior design and preparation to accommodate the company’s relocation later this year.
The Buchanan Warf Project was completed under the supervision of Drum Property Group. It was financially supported by Legal & General Investment Management Real Assets. This project has transformed the Tradeston site, once a post-industrial area, into a lively space. It is a combination of office areas, residential buildings, and scenic pathways along the riverside.
