Channel 4 In Advanced Negotiations With Castleford Partners

Channel 4 has entered into advanced negotiations with Castleforge Partners to lease just over 4,000 sq ft in The Garment Factory building in Glasgow as its new Creative Hub.

The broadcaster will lease the space on the first floor of the historic building, which has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment, to establish its new Creative Hub – a new base for the broadcaster in the city which will be home to programme commissioners and other Channel 4 roles.

The redeveloped light and modern interior will be used to create an office which reflects Channel 4's values of innovation, inclusion and creativity – and it will have the ability to host its partners in the production and creative industries.

The Garment Factory is a historic and well-known building in Glasgow situated in the Merchant City Central Conservation Area. Built in 1898, it was originally the garment factory of J & W Campbell, and its recent redevelopment has maintained the original industrial aesthetic of the iconic listed building but introduced modern services and high-quality finishes. The building is already home to a number of creative businesses.

The negotiations are being led by CBRE on behalf of Channel 4. Channel 4 would intend to take up the space in the building from late 2019.
