A leading accounting firm preparing to relocate its staff in Glasgow city centre next year.
Hundreds of PwC employees will move to a new office on Bothwell Street in 2025.
The 488 employees of the company based in Glasgow will be moving from 141 Bothwell Street to the Aurora building.
The new office will cover two floors and be approximately 26,000 sq. ft, creating a flexible and collaborative workspace.
The building has undergone refurbishment and is one of Glasgow's most sustainable offices, with 'best in class' energy efficiency.
Robin McBurnie, market senior partner for Glasgow at PwC, said: "I'm absolutely thrilled that we've reached a key milestone in signing the lease for Aurora in Glasgow.
"The building is one of the finest examples of truly sustainable commercial space within the city centre, which was one of the key factors in our decision.
"We may not be moving far, but we’ll be making our new home in a building that closely aligns with our own ethos and ambitions around net zero - and that keeps our teams at the beating heart of Glasgow’s business district.
"Our move will strengthen our presence in Glasgow, allowing us to continue having a positive impact on the local market and feed into the local economy."
Carl Sizer, head of markets at PwC UK, said: “Investment in cities like Glasgow is key to our regional strategy which is a fundamental part of our purpose and our success.
"It sees us leading the charge in redressing skills and productivity gaps across the UK, in order to drive long-term and sustainable growth - and aligns with our sustainability focus in Scotland which, as a region, is most impacted by the energy transition."
Ben Dickins, head of asset management (UK) at Forma Real Estate Fund, said: "Securing a global brand like PwC as our latest occupier is testament to the quality of the refurbishment work at Aurora and the building’s position in the Glasgow market."
