GLASGOW CITY CENTRE PROPERTY

What has powered the transformation in the fortunes of Glasgow city centre over the last ten years?

A first time visitor to the centre of Scotland's largest city would certainly be impressed with the thoroughly modern metropolis awaiting them. The city centre's transformation is immediately and spectacularly evident, with designer apartment blocks and commercial centres facing across the Clyde towards a new media village and science centre on the south bank. And that's before mentioning the visually stunning Financial Services district, the trendy Merchant City with its stylish homes, or the three main shopping boulevards - Argyle, Sauchiehall and Buchanan Street, the latter undoubtedly one of the best shopping destinations in Britain.

Perhaps the most notable aspect of Glasgow city centre in terms of architecture is the seamless blend of old and new. While classic buildings of every description have been cleverly converted into 21st century apartments and flats, architects have allowed their imaginations to run riot on the gleaming new constructions springing up in gap sites across central Glasgow. Within these effortlessly cool buildings, flats and penthouses offer all conceivable luxuries - perfect encapsulations of 21st century living in the heart of a major city, and some of the finest flats for sale in Glasgow.
