Network Rail Plans Glasgow Queen Street Station Quarter Redevelopment

Network Rail has submitted plans to Glasgow City Council for an enhanced Station Quarter around Glasgow Queen Street Station, which includes a new entrance from North Hanover Street, expanded retail space, and a landmark office building on a currently vacant site. The development aims to transform disused railway land at the city center, support around 350 jobs, and improve connectivity to the newly renovated George Square and surrounding public spaces. This project aligns with Glasgow’s 2030 City Centre Strategy and represents collaboration between public and private sectors to drive investment and community benefits. The design is led by Scotland-based architecture firm Comprehensive Design Partnership in collaboration with Arup. Future phases could include additional office and residential buildings, creating up to 40,000 square meters of commercial space. A public consultation is planned for autumn to involve local community feedback on the proposals.
