Jamie Oliver Chooses G1 Glasgow for First Scottish Restaurant Leading
restauranteur Jamie Oliver will open his first Scottish Jamie's Italian restaurant
at G1 Glasgow in George Square. At over 8,000 sq ft, the restaurant will be the
largest in Jamie's rapidly expanding chain, which currently operates in Canary
Wharf, Bath, Oxford, Cardiff, Kingston and Guildford. Following from their strategy
of opening in prominent locations, G1 Glasgow's location at the civic, cultural
and commercial heart of the City was an obvious instant attraction. A key
ingredient to the overwhelming success of Jamie's Italian has been providing an
exceptional dining environment, and an extensive fit out is planned to create
one of the coolest restaurants in Glasgow. Located on the ground and lower ground
floors, the restaurant will provide over 250 covers with an open kitchen on the
ground floor. Simon Blagden at Jamie's Italian, explained "G1 Glasgow
has the perfect mix of character, quality and location that we need for our restaurants." Stephen
Lewis, Development Director at HF Developments, explained "G1 Glasgow was
the obvious choice for Jamie's first Scottish restaurant. The development is quite
simply the best in Glasgow, which is reflected in the calibre of our latest occupier.
We are delighted to welcome Jamie's Italian to G1 and wish Jamie and his team
every success with the latest venture." Jamie joins leading construction
and international property consultancy Gardiner & Theobold, whose deal to
occupy the first floor of the building set a new headline office rental in Glasgow
of £29.50 per sq ft. Cushman & Wakefield represented HF Developments,
while Graeme Wait represented Jamie's Italian. Ends Notes
