Planners at Glasgow City Council have approved an application from Landsec, the owner of Buchanan Galleries, to make changes to one of the entrances. Planning documents stated the existing Buchanan Galleries façade and entrances present a “subdued and somewhat inward-facing aspect to Buchanan Street”. They add reconfigured retail units that will “greatly increase engagement at street level” and provide the “right space for the major brands who are not yet present in the city centre”. Landsec aims to create a “welcoming and safe civic space” at the top of Buchanan Street. The aim is to “introduce Glasgow’s first dedicated food hall, alongside other inline food, and leisure uses that extend the vibrancy of the centre into the evening economy”.
