Barclays has announced plans to create up to 2,500 jobs in Glasgow.
The bank is developing a campus in Buchanan Wharf to provide a base for its functions, technology and operations teams.
Paul Compton, the chief operating officer, said the development was a flagship project.
Scotland’s first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, said the initiative would be “transformational” for Glasgow.
The bank has agreed to buy the Buchanan Wharf campus development from Drum Property Group and the pair are collaborating to finalise the design.
Barclays said the campus on the banks of the river Clyde would play a pivotal role in its long-term strategic priorities and would be one of a small number of key global sites.
The hub will be able to accommodate up to 2,500 additional roles, doubling Barclays’ workforce in Scotland and making the bank one of Glasgow’s biggest commercial employers.
