Trinova Secures Two New Tenants at Spectrum, Glasgow — MSC and XMA
Trinova Real Estate is pleased to announce two significant new lettings at Spectrum, Glasgow, with Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and XMA Ltd taking new office suites on the recently completed seventh floor. These transactions demonstrate the continued strong leasing momentum at the building and underline the demand for high-quality, flexible workspace within Glasgow’s central business district.
MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) is one of the world’s leading global container shipping and logistics providers, operating a fleet of more than 900 vessels and serving over 520 ports across 155 countries. With a strong presence in Scotland, MSC provides end-to-end transport and logistics solutions to clients across a wide range of industries. The company’s move into Spectrum reflects its commitment to providing a modern and efficient workplace environment for its growing operations.
XMA Ltd, one of the UK’s foremost IT and technology solutions providers, partners with public and private sector clients to deliver innovative IT infrastructure, digital transformation, and managed services. With a 35-year track record and a strong focus on sustainability and service excellence, XMA’s decision to relocate to Spectrum underscores the building’s reputation as a best-in-class workspace for modern occupiers.
Located in the heart of Glasgow’s city centre, Spectrum provides over 70,000 sq ft of Grade A workspace and has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment programme. The building is now powered entirely by renewable energy, achieving an EPC rating of B, and offers a host of new amenities including upgraded shower facilities, multiple common areas, and a dedicated tenant lounge.
Alongside five fully fitted and furnished office suites, there are also full floors available on levels five and six, each extending to approximately 9,800 sq ft. This mix of ready-to-occupy and open-plan options provides flexibility for occupiers seeking efficient, sustainable, and well-connected workspace.
The move by MSC and XMA reflects the growing occupier demand for high-quality, flexible offices in Glasgow’s city centre, where supply of true Grade A space remains limited. Both companies were drawn to Spectrum’s prime location, high-quality finishes, and energy-efficient systems, all of which support hybrid working models and future growth.
John Bannerman, Asset Management at Trinova, commented: “We are delighted to welcome MSC and XMA to Spectrum. These lettings are a great endorsement of the investment in design and specification that has gone into repositioning the building. Spectrum offers a modern, high-quality workspace that continues to attract excellent occupiers. The level of activity and interest we’re seeing is a clear sign of confidence in the Glasgow office market.”
Landlord of Spectrum commented: “We are excited to welcome MSC and XMA to Spectrum – a strong reflection of the success of our investment in transforming the building. With its modern design and high-quality specification, Spectrum is attracting top-tier occupiers and generating strong momentum.”
Hanna McKie, JLL, said: “Welcoming a globally recognised business like MSC is a fantastic endorsement of the building. Spectrum has been carefully designed to offer occupiers not only high-quality and flexible space but also the kind of modern amenities that are crucial to today’s working practices. With further suites and full floors available, we expect strong interest from businesses seeking the best of both location and specification in Glasgow, without the time and cost associated with completing fit outs themselves.”
With a tenant base spanning technology, logistics, and financial services, Spectrum continues to establish itself as one of Glasgow’s most desirable office addresses. The remaining Cat A space on the fifth and sixth floors and the fully fitted suites on the seventh floor offer occupiers flexible, plug-and-play solutions tailored to their operational needs.
