A small mixed-use district of Glasgow, Cranstonhill lies to the north of the Clydeside Expressway, to the east of Finnieston and merging into Anderston, a mile (1.7 km) west of the city centre. It comprises office blocks and housing, with extensive new-build development in brick but in part occupying old factories. Cranstonhill was feued by John Orr from his Stobcross estate to William Baird, a maltman, and then passed the Houldsworths (hence Houldsworth Street). Glasgow Corporation opened Cranstonhill Baths and Wash House on Elliot Street in 1883. The baths closed in 1972 and most of the building was demolished, to be replaced by an office complex, although part of the facade remains.
Today, the Glasgow Skypark office campus dominates the area. This was built as the Anderston Industrial Zone in 1965-67 by Glasgow Corporation but refurbished and renamed having been sold to a private developer in the 1990s. It now extends to six buildings and hosts fifty companies, with more than 4000 employees.
