Brand new Glasgow retail park set to open

A 72,000 sq ft out-of-town retail park near Glasgow is set to open this Spring.

Developed by London & Scottish Property Investment Management (LSPIM), the newly-constructed Barrhead Retail Park will welcome Lidl, B&M, Starbucks, Burger King, Card Factory, Baynes, Indigo Sun, The Salvation Army and Osprey Charging Network. One 1,430 sq ft unit remains at the scheme.

The retail park will also play host to the UK’s first Popeyes drive-through.

Andy Richardson, development director at LSPIM, said: “The interest in Barrhead Retail Park is a really positive demonstration that momentum exists in the retail sector, despite pressures from the pandemic and cost of living challenges.”

Mike Spens, retail director at Savills, who advise LPSIM alongside Orinsen, added: “While shopping habits in the last 24 months have evolved in a direction few could have anticipated, footfall on retail parks has fared well and we anticipate this new park will draw strong interest.”
