Development plans stepped up for Scotland's biggest business park



Multinational property company Frasers Property UK has stepped up its development plans for Hillington Park, Scotland’s largest business estate which is near Glasgow Airport.

Frasers announced today it has signed a 15-year lease with Starbucks on a new purpose-built ‘drive thru and drive up’ coffee food outlet on the 419-acre business park it acquired in September 2017.

The £1.4 million development will be located close to the Park’s main entrance at Junction 26 on the M8 motorway.

Work begins today with the development due for completion in May 2020.

It is located next to the car dealerships cluster which includes Taggarts, Volvo and Jaguar, Arnold Clark Renault and Dacia and the forthcoming Harry Fairburn BMW and MINI and will have parking for up to 31 vehicles.

The contract to build the new scheme has been awarded to Glasgow-based commercial and industrial construction company Bell Building Projects.

Hillington Park commercial director Grant Edmondson said: “The development will not only add to the range of food and drink options for our customers, but also will offer another space for the community to connect.

“We are working on a number of refurbishment and new-build projects which are likely to come forward in 2020 as part of Frasers Property’s strategy to deliver more bespoke buildings for occupiers and speculative industrial units to meet market demand.”

Hillington Park is located just two minutes from the M8 motorway, seven miles west of Glasgow’s city centre and only three miles from Glasgow International Airport.

Regular bus services operate on the Park and two mainline train stations link directly into Glasgow.

Hillington Park was purchased by Frasers Property, which owns a £1 billion portfolio of business parks in the United Kingdom, 18 months ago.

Hillington Park is currently home to more than 500 businesses employing around 8,000 people across multiple sectors including manufacturing, engineering, construction and building products, automotive, transport and e-commerce, technology and health.
