Investment Highlights

The premises, represent a rare opportunity to acquire a well-positioned, mixed-use property in one of Glasgow’s busiest commercial and leisure areas.  Situated on Bath Street, close to Sauchiehall Street and Charing Cross, the location benefits from heavy footfall, excellent public transport links, and proximity to major city attractions and business hubs.

The lower ground floor is occupied by Bunker Bar, a long-established and well-known name in Glasgow’s hospitality scene. With a strong local following, themed nights, and consistent trade, the bar provides a stable rental stream. The business is unaffected by the sale and will continue to operate under the lease agreement that is in place.

The upper floors, currently configured as good quality secondary office space, offer significant scope for value enhancement. These floors are suitable for letting to creative businesses, freelancers, professional practices, healthcare, co-working operators, or could be refurbished to create event spaces or meeting rooms.

Development Options

The asset has been managed to gain vacant possession on upper floor space over the short term, to enable redevelopment.

Given its central location and traditional building style, the property lends itself well to redevelopment into residential apartments or student accommodation. Bath Street is surrounded by hotels, university buildings, and major entertainment venues, making it ideal for short-term or long-term living solutions.

Alternatively, the space could be transformed into a serviced aparthotel or serviced apartments, targeting business travellers, tourists, or extended-stay guests.

While change of use would require planning permission, the building is in a zone where mixed-use and residential redevelopment is generally supported by the local authority.  In addition, the top floor has historical consent for residential uses.  The city’s ongoing demand for both residential accommodation and flexible short stay lodging, makes this an attractive repositioning opportunity.

Opportunity Summary

Whether retained as a mixed-use investment, or transformed into residential or serviced apartments, this property offers significant income potential and capital growth opportunity.

 

Location

The premises, are ideally located on Bath Street, one of Glasgow’s most vibrant and strategically positioned thoroughfares. Just steps from Sauchiehall Street, the property sits at the heart of the city’s established nightlife and leisure quarter. This central location benefits from high footfall, strong visibility, and excellent connectivity to the wider city and beyond.

The upper floors of the property are well located for office or creative commercial use, benefiting from a central location on Bath Street, one of Glasgow’s core professional and business corridors. This area is home to a mix of law firms, design studios, marketing agencies, and serviced office providers, making it ideal for small-to-mid-sized businesses seeking a city-centre address with character.
