New lease of life for iconic building

01 Feb 2017

One of Glasgow's most iconic buildings, the former Odeon cinema on Renfield Street, is undergoing a radical transformation by developer, Carrick Properties. After lying empty for over 10 years, the well-known property is being converted into 15,000 sq. ft. of contemporary, Grade A office space, over four floors - with a new restaurant and retail outlets at ground level.

Due for completion in April and known as "The Reel House", the former cinema will offer tenants a roof garden, separate private balcony, and easy access to the diverse amenities  in Glasgow city centre. The category B listed building will also retain a number of its traditional elements, such as the curved frontage and canopy, while incorporating new features for future occupiers, including air conditioning and LED lighting. The services will be exposed, adding to the contemporary feel.

Knight Frank's Sarah Addis, joint agent with JLL, said: "We've already seen significant interest in this exciting, innovative office accommodation. In addition, Red's True BBQ has already signed up to the ground floor, for its first restaurant in Scotland. We are very excited to see the finished product in a few months time."
