Glasgow's 'finest and most iconic retail and leisure opportunity' goes on the market

One of Glasgow's most iconic buildings has been placed on the market - offering prospective owners the chance to acquire a sought-after location at the heart of Buchanan Street.

98 Buchanan Street, near Royal Exchange Square, was recently home to the flagship Glasgow store of British fashion retailer All Saints, having previously been the location of Borders Books - Glasgow's much-missed browsing paradise and a place many will recall with fond memories.

And the property also includes 31 Royal Exchange Square - formerly home to Zizzi restaurant.

Estate agents Savills regard the five-floor building as 'Glasgow's finest & most iconic retail and leisure opportunity' and one that presents 'the opportunity to acquire the best flagship store on Buchanan Street'.

Their listing reads: "98 Buchanan Street occupies the most prominent position and one of the very few island buildings within Glasgow city centre and is the only island site - between Royal Bank Place and Exchange Place - and is surrounded by big-name brands such as The Ivy, Vodafone, Apple, The White Company, Hobbs, Diesel, Massimo Dutti, and Hugo Boss."

"The stunning renaissance-style buildings were separately constructed in 1850 and 1827, and designed by Scottish architects Charles Wilson and Archibald Elliot respectively. Each provides exceptional internal accommodation across five spacious floors."

In an ideal world we'd love to see the return of a big book store like Borders to it!

Who would you be keen on seeing take ownership of the iconic building?
