Construction,
planning and development
Dawn Group has completed the initial phase of Glasgow North Retail Park, Robroyston, an investment of £30m in one of Glasgows largest growth areas
Dawn Construction,
working in partnership with their sister company
Dawn Developments, has completed the Retail Park and
dual carriageway works on programme and to the
budget of £8.5m.
The six-unit terrace creates 86,000 sq ft of retail
space with 400 car parking spaces in a 12.55 acre
site. Dawn has delivered the anchor unit to Homebase,
a 35,000 sq ft unit with additional 13,000 sq ft
garden centre. Homebase open for trade on 24th
August and Acorn Pets will commence trading from
their 8000 sq ft unit during September. Negotiations
are well advanced with other operators for the
remaining units. The adjacent Asda food store is
currently completing a mezzanine extension to
provide in total over 200,000 sq ft of retail offer
at Glasgow North retail Park immediately adjacent to
Junction 2 of M80.
The construction of each unit is steel frame with
facing blockwork to the external elevations combined
with cladding and elements of glazed curtain walling
to the main entrances. To the interior the units
have been fitted out to shell status allowing future
occupiers to fit out the units to their
specifications.
Road enhancing works include completion of a new
dual-carriageway adjacent to the site, improving
transport links to the expanding residential growth
areas and the M80 corridor.
Ray Eve, Managing Director of Dawn Construction
complimented the efforts: “Both Dawn Construction
and Dawn Developments are reputed for their
entrepreneurial flair and comprehensive market
knowledge.
“We have extensive experience within the retail
market and we are thrilled with the final result.”
Paul O’Donnell, Director of Dawn Developments added:
“This development identifies Glasgow North Retail
Park at Robroyston as a quality retailing
destination, fulfilling the joint aspirations of
Dawn Group and the City of Glasgow Council to create
a commercial centre in this part of Glasgow with
increased facilities for the growing local
community.
“We regularly partner successfully with Dawn
Construction utilising group-wide expertise to

works very well and brings together a host of
benefits for our team at Dawn Group ensuring we keep

working with Dawn Construction again very soon”
