Buchanan Galleries demolition plans move closer with public asked for say on massive development

The public is being asked for their views on the planned demolition of Buchanan Galleries.

It was revealed last year that developers are looking to flatten the shopping centre as part of an £825 million plan masterplan to create a 'vibrant district in the heart of the city'.

The plan includes creating more green public spaces, shops, and restaurants and improving access to transport hubs like Queen Street Station and Buchanan Street bus and subway stations.

Later this month, the owners of the centre are inviting the public, businesses, and the local community to share their views on the plans.

The public consultation will be the final opportunity for feedback on the plans with two workshops and exhibitions set to take place on the top floor of Buchanan Galleries.

Nick Davis, Head of Retail Development, Landsec said: “We have listened carefully to views and opinions from the first two stages of our consultation process and endeavoured to reflect these within our evolving plans.

"This is the final opportunity to share feedback and we are really keen for as many people as possible to input thoughts and ideas.

"Our vision is to enhance Glasgow’s historic grid layout, introducing vibrant new streets with a mixture of places to work, shop, live, eat and socialise in the heart of the city. We welcome all views and would encourage everyone to contribute to the third stage of the consultation.”

The first workshop will take place from 6-8pm on January 26 in the Retail Academy, Top Floor, Buchanan Galleries with further events and exhibitions running through to February 7.
