Sauchiehall Street £75m make-over for former BHS site
Plans have been submitted for a £75m redevelopment to create and improve landmark buildings in central Glasgow.
Days after BHS closed its doors for the final time, its former location on Sauchiehall Street is already getting redeveloped.
The £75m plans by property investor Formal Investments include a new-build on Bath Street with 130,000 sq ft of office space.
A third building on Sauchiehall Street and Renfield Street will be improved to create retail space and offices.
The properties were acquired last year by Formal Investments.
Director Nicholas King said: "This proposal shows a really exciting vision for an important site in Glasgow city centre and will provide the highest quality environments for retailers and businesses large and small."
The architectural design work for the redevelopment has been carried out by Glasgow practice Stallan-Brand.
The architectural design is by Glasgow practice Stallan-Brand, whose associate Patrick Wilson said: “Formal Investment’s proposed redevelopment presents a unique opportunity to revitalise and transform the quality of the urban environment and public realm in this location, through the creation of new public spaces and improved and more appropriate mixed use activity.”
Shahid Ali, associate director of planning and development at the Glasgow office of property consultants JLL, said: “This proposed development will bring much needed additional office space to Glasgow whilst strengthening its retail presence, and play an important role in the regeneration of Sauchiehall Street.”
