Revamp of Glasgow's Buchanan Galleries Shopping Centre Approved
Landsec's phased refurbishment will add leisure facilities, a food hall, and a flagship retail unit while keeping Buchanan Galleries open, supporting Glasgow’s retail future.
- On next year, Glasgow City Council approved plans for Landsec to refurbish Buchanan Galleries, with work set to begin next year.
- Last year, Landsec scrapped demolition plans and opted to redevelop Buchanan Galleries to 'further future-proof retail' with digital art and advertising responding to community calls for better retail and leisure.
- Phased construction will keep Buchanan Galleries open while adding high-street retail frontage, a food hall, and a major retail unit on the gap site adjacent to the shopping centre.
- Councillor Susan Aitken, Glasgow City Council leader, welcomed the approval as a major catalyst, while business leaders and Landsec executives said the investment will keep the city centre vibrant and add attractive public spaces.
- A full renovation is set to start in the latter half of 2026, with work delivered in phases alongside Buchanan bus station transport hub proposals unveiled earlier this year.
