Glasgow's city centre is on the verge of being transformed, following the unveiling of plans to erect a 17-storey, 180ft building at a cost of £9 million. If given the go-ahead, the office complex, which will be known as Optima, will be sited in Bath Street, facing the Mitchell library on the opposite side of the M8 motorway. The building will be close to the site where Scotland's tallest building will take shape and is expected to become one of the city's defining landmarks. Property developer Credential Charing Cross is behind the plan, which goes before the city council's planning committee today.
