Executive Summary

Merchant Square represents a rare opportunity to acquire a dominant and unique indoor leisure destination in the heart of Glasgow’s Merchant City. The property is virtually fully let, anchored by a strong AAA covenant, and benefits from a diverse mix of bars, restaurants, and entertainment operators. Current income stands at over £600,000 per annum with opportunities to enhance returns through RPI linked reviews, leasing the currently underutilised 707 sq m courtyard space, and capturing reversionary uplifts over the next five years. The venue’s prime city centre position, coupled with major ongoing and planned regeneration initiatives around Merchant City, underpins both immediate and long term investment appeal.
