Valeo Management Europe - Carrick Street Consultation Website

THE SITE AND IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS

The Site comprises circa 0.3ha of land bounded by Carrick Street to the west, Crimea Street to the north, the Clyde Street Mission building and Brown Street to the east, and a small surface car park to the south west corner

Brown Street on the eastern boundary of the Site, extends fully north to south between Argyle Street and Broomielaw, and marks the surviving historic linear block patterns from the early 19th Century, and marks the south western edge of the Central Conservation Area boundary.

To the south of the Site buildings there is a surface car park on an adjacent gap site beyond the Site boundary, this is overlooked by the rear of modern office, headquarters buildings within the built out areas of the IFSD east of Brown Street and James Watt Street and along the Broomielaw frontage. Further to the south of the Site, occupying the south end of the street block, is 200 Broomielaw a recently refurbished office building with a frontage to the Broomielaw and the River Clyde faced with curved curtain wall glazing and a corner tower on the south west end capped with an angled roof.

Kentigern House, 68 Brown Street, dominates the immediate context of the Site to the north. This is a long linear east-west aligned building built over as a quadrangle at the northern, Argyle Street, end of two of the north-south street blocks Brown Street and Alpine Street, and with a car park extending over the northern end of Alpine Street. The site amalgamation and building construction cut off the northern end of Carrick Street and Alpine Street and the historic north-south through routes from the Broomielaw to Argyle Street.
