The Merchant City is located in the heart of Glasgow only 5 minutes walk from both Buchanan Street and Argyle Street.

The area itself has been creating a name for itself in recent years with a wide variety of upmarket retailers (including such names as Versace, Armani and Ralph Lauren) as well as more speciality shops ranging from a haven for chocolate lovers (KsChocolat) to a shop dedicated to football memorabilia.

The area also is set to further improve with over £150 million of private sector led redevelopment in the pipeline and major improvements underway to the spaces in between the buildings including a revamp of the Trongate’s public realm.
