Glasgow Harbour Regeneration Project RevisedThe £1.2bn plan to regenerate Glasgow's waterfront into a tourist destination with a super-casino and leisure facilities has been revised.
More than 30 hectares of the original 52-hectare master-plan have been redesigned following a re-evaluation of the site's potential.
The amended plans now propose 27,400sq m (295,000sq ft) of additional retail space, a 200-bed, five-star hotel with views of the Clyde from all bedrooms; a 30-storey residential tower with basement quayside restaurant; a family leisure area; a casino complex and a Riverside Museum.
The family leisure area will feature a "children's world" education and learning centre, a family entertainment centre and a 10-screen cinema.
The casino complex, which would be operated by Las Vegas-based MGM Mirage, will provide a central entertainment venue, a sports pub and restaurant, three international standard signature restaurants, a food court, a coffee bar and a delicatessen.
The central focus of the waterfront development, however, will be Glasgow Harbour Square, which will be linked by a pedestrian footbridge to Events Square - the entrance and exhibition piazza to the Riverside Museum.
The Riverside Museum will be 3,000sq m (37,270sq ft) larger than originally planned.
The museum - designed by Zaha Hadid - will front a public square
