Hundreds of new jobs are to be created in Linwood, near Glasgow, following the revelation of plans to develop the town’s Phoenix Retail Park.

Property management company Pradera, are planning to investment a significant amount of money into the development to rejuvenate the area with a number of new retail units in a proposal to regenerate the area. There are also proposals to renew the existing units and modernise the parking and entrance to the retail park.

At present, it consists of nine retail units totalling approximately 13,000 sqm arranged in three buildings, with 480 parking spaces.

Over 300 jobs are likely to be created when the development is complete, with an opening date in late 2013 expected.

Plans are already in progress to construct a multipurpose mix of new units and shops in the retail park, which will help supply better shopping areas local residents.

A boost in employment opportunities such as this will help to provide a much-needed boost to the local economy as well as attracting a more diverse range of retailers to the area.
