The complex comprises a former haulage complex / yard and features a mixture of traditional buildings, including single storey sandstone with flat roof and partly brickwork and two storey with slated roofs.
The buildings form a U shape round a central courtyard / yard.
Location
The complex occupies a prominent corner site on the west side of Pinkston Road at the junction of Pinkston Road with Keppochhill Road. The property therefore lies in the Port Dundas / Springburn area of the city, lying a short distance to the north of Glasgow city centre.
The surrounding area has been subject to a large scale investment by British Waterways in the Pinkston Water Sports Centre and Port Dundas Basin immediately to the south, while Douglas Park (BMW) have a modern showroom complex a short distance to the south.
Other surrounding major occupiers include Booker Cash and Carry, Grahams Dairy Complex, McGee’s Bakery and the Scottish Ambulance Service.
The Spring Park Bar Public House and Ladbrokes interlink with the complex on the northern elevation.
The property fronts onto Keppochhill Road, which is a main vehicular traffic route, linking from the north of the city down towards the access to the M74 / inner ring road.
