This is the first image of the £70million Glasgow city centre development which is expected to get the go-ahead today.

Work on the high-profile site at the heart of the city's Style Mile is expected to start this month and be finished in 2013.

Land Securities, the UK's largest commercial property developer, said the massive shopping and housing complex in Buchanan Street, will create hundreds of jobs and boost Scotland's economy.

As exclusively revealed in the Evening Times earlier this month, US fashion chain Forever 21 will occupy a 60,000sq ft store opposite Buchanan Galleries.
