Case Study
St Enoch
Glasgow retail destination transformed via £65M initiatives, repurposing and mixed-use masterplan.
October 4, 2025
CBRE Asset & Development Management were instructed on the 830,000 sq ft St Enoch Centre in Glasgow from 2014, until the sale of the centre in 2025. The team’s work on the centre is a prime example of retail repurposing, with the Development Management team implementing £65m of development initiatives. These initiatives include:
- The £45m redevelopment of a 95,000 sq ft former BHS store to create a new 43,500 sq ft retail unit, currently let to TJ Hughes, and a major leisure complex anchored by a Vue cinema and 9 restaurants including Wagamama, Wingstop and Cosmo.
- Planning permission was obtained in July 2022 for the conversion of the listed former 300,000 sq ft Debenhams department store into offices.
- Planning consent and delivery of the amalgamation of 5 external units into a new anchor fashion store for international retailer Uniqlo, arranged over basement, ground and first floor.
- The delivery of a substantial mall and food court refurbishment project, creating the city centre’s best dedicated multi-operator food offer.
- A planning consent has been obtained for a comprehensive long term masterplan of the entire St Enoch estate which seeks to future proof the longevity of the asset as a truly mixed use “open street” destination. The masterplan comprises the phased demolition and redevelopment of the current centre to provide 2.5m sq ft of mixed use accommodation including retail, leisure, offices, hotel and 900 residential units.
The asset management and development initiatives implemented by the CBRE team transformed St Enoch into a truly mixed use destination providing retail, dining and leisure all under one roof for the first time in Glasgow city centre.
