| Comment | What's probably more the issue is that we don't need the combination of Buchanan Galleries, St Enoch, and all the other on-street shop units between Sauchiehall, Buchanan & Argyle Streets. The combination of online and out of town shopping means the same floorspace just isn't required anymore.
Left as things stand, Buchanan Galleries probably wouldn't have been completely empty but will have a fraction of the tenants it has now. Wouldn't be viable for the owners so the cost of redevelopment is easier to swallow than diminishing returns for decades to come. |
