Elphinstone Place

Elphinstone Place is a cancelled skyscraper project that was scheduled to be built in Glasgow, Scotland.

In July 2008 The developers Elphinstone announced that the building had been cancelled due to the difficulties arising from the subprime mortgage crisis, with one of the main financial backers of the project being the failed Lehman Brothers.

[3] The building would have been situated at the western end of Blythswood Hill on the edge of Glasgow's financial district (IFSD).

In July 2012, it was announced that the site would instead be used for a new headquarters complex for the energy company, Scottish Power; that project, of more modest height (albeit still around 60 metres)[4] was completed in 2017.

[5] In 2024, planning permission was granted for a 36-story residential tower 100 metres to the north on the same site known as The Ard, which if constructed, will become Glasgow's tallest inhabitable structure.
