A SCOTTISH city centre shopping centre has been bought by property investors for an "undisclosed sum".
M Core, a commercial property and investment collective, have purchased the Princes Square retail development in Glasgow. It features four self-contained retail units along Buchanan Street and an inner mall spread across five levels.
Occupants of the shopping centre include Levi's, Michael Kors, Sweaty Betty, and Everyman Cinema.
LCP, part of M Core, has been appointed to manage Princes Square.
James Buchanan, LCP Group managing director, said: "The acquisition of Princes Square is a fitting start to 2024.
"Situated in the heart of Glasgow, it boasts significant retail, food, and leisure brands.
"With our proven track record in focused investment and intensive asset management, we are poised to capitalise on market opportunities, enhance value, and provide excellent offerings for our tenants."
Roddy Proudfoot, LCP director, head of Scotland office, said: "Buchanan Street is a renowned retail and leisure destination with an annual footfall exceeding 52 million, and offers significant potential.
"We are already engaged in discussions with high profile potential retail and restaurant occupiers, including new entrants to the Glasgow market, and look forward to making announcements in the coming weeks."
The five-storey Grade B listed building dates back to the 1840s and was recognised in 2016 as Scotland's best building of the last century by the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland
Princes Square has been contacted for comment.
Princes Square is located at 48 Buchanan Street, Glasgow.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
