You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.231.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:15, 30 September 2026. Your current IP address is 3.231.219.49.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Buchanan Wharf''' ([[Scottish Gaelic]]: '''''Cladh Bhochanain''''') is a complex of five [[Mixed-use development|mixed use]] buildings in the [[Tradeston]] area of [[Glasgow]], Scotland. The complex comprises a total of five buildings, Clyde Place House, Tradescroft, Windmillcroft, Wellcroft and Grays Hill, with main usage being designated as office buildings. The complex houses the European headquarters of [[Barclays]], as well as the headquarters of the [[Student Loans Company]], with other buildings in the complex ranging in usage from residential accommodation and a mix of local amenities.<ref name="auto1">{{cite web |title=Drum Secures Barclays at Buchanan Wharf. |url=https://www.drumpropertygroup.com/news/drum-secures-barclays-at-buchanan-wharf/ |website=Drum Secures Barclays at Buchanan Wharf. |date=23 July 2018 |publisher=DRUM |access-date=22 September 2023}}</ref>

The complex comprises two 18-storey [[Twin towers (architecture)|twin towers]] which consist of a total of 324 apartments with dining and gym facilities, a residents lounge, games room and a {{convert|4,250|sqft|m2|abbr=off|adj=on}} roof terrace.<ref>{{cite web |title=Case study Barclays Glasgow Campus (Formally Buchanan Wharf ) |url=https://www.daikinapplied.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/04/DAPUK_Case-Study_Barclays-Glasgow-Campus-Buchanan-Wharf_EWAT-B.pdf |publisher=Office |access-date=22 September 2023}}</ref>

==Background==

Construction firm Drum secured the deal with Barclays Bank to construct a new office space in the city centre of Glasgow consisting of a {{convert|470000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} Campus at the Buchanan Wharf complex.<ref name="auto1"/> The deal to purchase around {{convert|470000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} of "prime Grade A office space" created accommodation for roughly 2,500 additional jobs in the city, almost doubling Barclays current workforce in Scotland, making the bank one of Glasgow's biggest commercial employers.<ref name="auto1"/>

The multi-million pound development deal for Buchanan Wharf saw one of Scotland's biggest construction projects. The site provides more than {{convert|1|e6sqft|m2|abbr=off|spell=in}} of office space, residential accommodation and a mix of local amenities and landscaped public spaces.<ref name="auto1"/> Described by Barclays Bank as the "flagship project" for the bank, the development was welcomed by at the time [[First Minister of Scotland]] [[Nicola Sturgeon]] who said "This is a project that will be transformational for Glasgow, creating up to 2,500 new jobs in the heart of the city. The new campus will strengthen Glasgow’s financial services sector and shows Scotland continues to be a highly attractive location for inward investment".<ref name="auto1"/>

==Development==
Construction on the complex began in 2018, with the construction of the Barclays Bank building being completed by 2021 when it was officially opened by First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon.<ref name="auto"/> The entire complex was completed over the following two years, with the final phase involving the construction of a six-storey building – to become the headquarters for the [[Student Loans Company]] after a 20-year lease of the building was agreed – due to be occupied by 1,100 staff by Autumn 2023.<ref name="auto3">{{cite web |title=Glasgow's £500m Buchanan Wharf transformation on banks of River Clyde completed |url=https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/gallery/glasgows-500m-buchanan-wharf-transformation-27042597 |website=Glasgow's £500m Buchanan Wharf transformation on banks of River Clyde completed |date=2 June 2023 |publisher=Glasgow Live |access-date=22 September 2023}}</ref>

The complex comprises a total of five Buildings, each of which varies in terms of height, floor space and usage, with two twin tower buildings consisting of 324 Build to Rent (BTR) apartments for Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM), a six-storey office building for the Student Loans Company, and a five-storey office building serving as the Northern European campus HQ of Barclays Bank.<ref name="auto3"/>

===Buildings===

The Buchanan Wharf complex comprises five buildings in total:

* Clyde Place House
* Tradescroft
* Windmillcroft
* Wellcroft
* Grays Hill

===Location===

The complex is located in the Tradeston area of Glasgow City Centre which suffered profoundly from the demise of the shipbuilding and associated river dock industries that Glasgow had become renowned for and on which its economy had largely depended, as well as traffic management systems operating in the area. The area lies on the banks of the [[River Clyde]], incorporating three entire city blocks, and is seen to being key to Glasgow's city centre regeneration strategies.<ref name="auto2">{{cite web |title=BUCHANAN WHARF – BARCLAYS CAMPUS GLASGOW |url=https://www.scottishdesignawards.com/2022/master-planning/buchanan-wharf-barclays-campus-glasgow/index.html |website=BUCHANAN WHARF – BARCLAYS CAMPUS GLASGOW |publisher=Scottish Design Awards |access-date=22 September 2023}}</ref>  It is served by [[Bridge Street subway station|Bridge Street]] station on the [[Glasgow Subway]].

Citing a lack of clear urban form of the development of the derelict site, contractors Stallan-Brand Architecture + Design Ltd presented development plans to establish a "new destination for the area", with a primary focus on movement, accessibility, and permeability.<ref name="auto2"/>

==Accolades==

The development won both the Master Planning award and Regeneration Project of the Year award at the 2022 Scottish Design Awards.<ref>{{cite web |title=2022 Scottish Property Award Winners Announced |date=5 April 2022 |url=https://www.atelierten.com/2022-scottish-property-award-winners-announced/ |publisher=Atelier Ten |access-date=22 September 2023}}</ref><ref name="auto2"/>
