Steven Purcell said: "I used my influence as Leader to help facilitate negotiations...
"I'm delighted that Stefan King agreed..."
Stefan King of G1 Group, said: "When Councillor Purcell approached us regarding interest shown in the building, it was at a time when we still considered No 1 to be a long term property hold. However he encouraged us to meet with the interested parties..."

Willie Haughey
D. Who is Willie Haughey?
And what link does Haughey have to the disappeared UK politician Steven Purcell?
Willie Haughey is worth at least £100million (Scotland's rich list News Of The World)
Haughey is alleged to have benefited from his friendship with Steven Purcell.
According to the Sunday Mirror, on 7 March 2010 (DRUGGIE PURCELL FLEES TO HIS PAL'S VILLA.), "Drugs-shame council chief Steven Purcell has fled with his gay partner to a luxury mansion overseas owned by a Scots millionaire...
"It was claimed ... by his aides that he was heading for a villa in Florida owned by wealthy refrigeration magnate Willie Haughey...
"Haughey denied Purcell was staying at his holiday villa.
"Other well-placed sources said Purcell was being cared for by property tycoon Brian Dempsey, 61, at his palatial mansion in the Cayman Islands."
According to The Sunday Times, 14 March 2010 (Scottish Labour in ‘cash for access’ row
/ Donor who spun a web of influence ):
1. Willie Haughey was the Scottish Labour Party's biggest donor, having donated over a million pounds.
Haughey now faces allegations of 'cash for favours' over his links to Steven Purcell, who was leader of Glasgow city council and who has confessed to using cocaine.
Haughey is alleged to have benefited financially from decisions made by Purcell.
Purcell chaired a meeting which agreed to give Haughey nearly £1m of public money.
Sources at Glasgow council said Purcell recruited or promoted council planners who were known to be associates of Haughey.
2. Reportedly, on 5 March 2010, in a car park in East Kilbride, near Glasgow, Willie Haughey met two men, in order to decide the fate of Steven Purcell, who was sitting in a car in the same car park.
Reportedly, the result was that Purcell resigned as leader of Glasgow city council, and left the country.
Rumour has it that Purcell headed to Haughey's home in Florida, or to Dubai, Australia, Ireland or the Cayman Islands.
3. Haughey's £100m fortune is partly the result of deals done with Glasgow city council and other such public sector bodies.
4. UK prime minister Gordon Brown opened the new headquarters of Haughey's company in 2009.
5. Scottish Enterprise Glasgow, chaired by Haughey, helped one of Haughey's own company.
The payout resulted from a motorway extension.
Haughey's company HQ was in the path of the motorway.
Reportedly, the cost of the HQ was £1.3m.
The compensation offered for the loss of land and relocation costs was initially £7.4m.
It was raised to £13.3m after Haughey reportedly approached Labour politician Jack McConnell, then first minister.
Reportedly, Haughey then sought extra money for his new HQ.
Haughey then received £970,000 from Scottish Enterprise Glasgow.
Purcell chaired the meeting, in 2004, which approved the payout.
