Landsec has released new images of its proposed redevelopment of Buchanan Galleries in Glasgow.
The developer began consulting on plans to build a new vibrant district in the city in 2021 and the proposed masterplan will create a mixed-use scheme complete with shops and restaurants, workspace, more green and public spaces, plus improved access to key transport hubs.
Deborah Freeman-Watt, head of regional and Scotland development at Landsec, said: “Investing in our cities is key to unlocking their full potential and driving economic growth across the UK. Our strategic focus on regeneration will allow us to create truly great places which bring lasting value to the communities in which we operate.
“Our vision in Glasgow is to curate a vibrant new district that is fit for the future, by introducing open spaces alongside new streets which host a mixture of places to work, shop, live, eat and socialise in the heart of the city.”
Stuart Patrick CBE, chief executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, added: “Glasgow is the engine of the Scottish economy, and this proposed development will support the city in rebuilding its competitive advantage, making a major contribution to post-covid recovery, and ensuring Glasgow remains an attractive and sustainable place in which to live, work, study, visit and invest.”
Landsec will invite the public and local community to share their views on the proposal ahead of it being submitted for planning later this year.
