Adams Consulting Group was appointed in 2003 by Capital Shopping Centres to continue with Phase 2 of the Braehead development. Phase one of which comprised a major shopping centre, retail park, business park and associated infrastructure network.

The Second Phase involves the preparation by remediation of approximately 130 acres of brownfield land in readiness for a series of commercial and residential developments and the provision of a replacement Kings Inch Road, a one kilometre four lane road with cycle and footpaths, integrated services, landscaped zones and traffic signalled junctions providing access to and through the development sites.

Part of the project works was the construction of a 700 metre riverside walkway and emergency access linked to the Kings Inch Road by a seven acre landscaped park, constructed between development sites.

Further associated project works in progress include modifications to the existing infrastructure network to accommodate increased traffic flow and development requirements, increases by additional lanes to Junction 26 of the M8 motorway and the provision of new workshop facilities for the existing shopping centre. Adams Consulting Group are retained as advisors and project managers to Capital Shopping Centres for construction and development works to the shopping centre and to further phases of the Braehead project.
