MAPP secures mandate for ‘The Bond’ in Glasgow’s prime business district
MAPP, the UK’s leading specialist in the operation of commercial and mixed-use property, has been appointed by Alinor Capital Management and Sterling Property Ventures to manage The Bond, the landmark 148,000 sq ft mixed-use development at 57 Queen Street in the heart of Glasgow’s Central Business District.
MAPP will deliver a comprehensive suite of services for the recently refurbished Grade A office building, encompassing mobilisation, occupier engagement and placemaking, property and facilities management, and sustainability services. The integrated approach will ensure seamless operational harmony across this prestigious Glasgow institution creating an exceptional environment for occupiers whilst maximising asset performance.
The Bond represents a masterful reimagining of a historic Glasgow property, blending rich heritage with contemporary workspace design. Originally constructed between 1899 and 1903 as the Hunter Barr Building, the property has been thoughtfully refurbished to meet the demands of today’s occupiers. Historic features have been sensitively restored alongside contemporary design, with a dramatic full-height glazed atrium creating a striking arrival experience. The building also features a dedicated tenant lounge, on-site café and flexible breakout spaces designed to encourage collaboration and foster a sense of community.
The Bond has achieved an EPC A rating for its newly refurbished first and second floors, and is on track to achieve Net Zero in operation and below-average embodied carbon. This will be an all-electric building with state-of-the-art, energy-efficient mechanical and electrical systems, designed to minimise environmental impact and optimise operational performance.
Beyond its prime city centre location, The Bond offers occupiers exceptional connectivity and immediate access to Glasgow’s rich mix of restaurants, cafés, cultural attractions and leisure amenities. Home to a distinguished mix of blue-chip occupiers, including Virgin, Barclays, J.P. Morgan, KPMG and ScottishPower, Glasgow city centre is one of the UK’s foremost business destinations. The Bond’s occupiers will join this established and highly connected corporate community.
We are delighted to have been selected to manage The Bond, a truly outstanding addition to Glasgow's commercial property landscape. From day one, we will work closely with occupiers to build a vibrant community within the building, leveraging the exceptional amenity spaces and creating a destination workplace that attracts and retains the best talent.
