Timescale: 2002-12
Budget: £150million
Partners: Various
Lead: City Canal Limited
Target: To regenerate site for residential/leisure and workspaces with associated uses.
Status: Masterplan presented to the City Council in 2002. Revised Masterplan 2005
Activity: This regeneration project, to be known as City Dock, is based to the west of Pacific Quay. It was home to the Govan Graving Docks and former Harland and Wolf shipyard and the site and structures are A-listed. It will see the construction of a mix of residential, business units, leisure and retail within the framework of an integrated masterplan.

The 2005 revised masterplan maintains the main elements of the previous proposal.

However there is now a stronger emphasis on linking the development to the Science Centre and Pacific Quay through a series of footbridges. It also incorporates a retail and marina complex on Canting Basin. An original proposal to include a hotel has now been excluded.

As well as providing services like restaurants and coffee shops for workers at Pacific Quay, it is also envisaged that it will bring social and economic development benefits to the wider community, particularly in Govan.
