It'll probably take another 10 years but this seems like a really good thing for Glasgow.

Perfect.Too little too late?
What about the hundreds of flats along at the Harbour developments that have no amenities whatsoever?! If the flatted developments of the Harbour, Lancefield Quay, River Heights etc had been designed with plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars integrated seamlessly along the riverside running from City to West End it would've created a much more desirable area to live and work in and brought investment, jobs and amenities - its been a huge missed opportunity IMO.

used to live not far from those new flats that were built on the old granary site,
remember saying to the missus when they were being built and marketed that they were overpriced, badly designed (half of them don't get sunlight), and overlooked industrial areas.
have no sympathy for anyone who bought one.

Fact:
This will be in close proximity to the city mission and on the Broomielaw at the foot of james watt street. Currently in an area where there is prostitutes and junkies wandering about.
So what we've got is a new development fairly isolated with no local businesses (even more so at night time when all the workers leave) or passing trade to support it, in what is currently not the nicest areas of town to hang about in
In my opinion this is destined to fail without extensive regeneration and investment to the surrounding areas.
