 |

St Enoch makes a grand entrance
DEVELOPERS behind the multi-million pound expansion of the St Enoch Centre are
promising a startling new entrance to the city shopping mall.
The artist's impression, far right, shows how the new entrance to the Glasgow
shopping mall will look - and the huge glass structure is a transformation from
the former Clydesdale Bank building, which has been demolished.
Fronting on to Argyle Street, the centre's upgrade will cost £100million and it
comes amid a rush of investment in Glasgow's thriving retail sector.
The facelift got under way before Christmas when the steps into the centre from
St Enoch Square were replaced by a ramp.
Hoardings were also put up to protect shoppers while the work was under way.
Centre owners Ivanhoe Cambridge is anxious to complete the revamp in time
for the next Christmas rush.
There will be more shops and restaurants, a multi-screen cinema and a nightclub.
The floor space will increase by a quarter to 1.3million sq.ft.
The giant glass St Enoch's pyramid opened in 1989 and the only alteration to
the centre since then was when the ice rink was replaced by more shops 10
years later.
--------------------------
I never knew we had "malls" in the UK. The American bastardisation of our language
continues...

Revealed: St Enoch’s vision for the future
THIS is the first glimpse of how the inside of Glasgow's St Enoch Centre will
look after a £100million makeover.
The artist's impression highlights the cafe culture theme which is to be
introduced to shoppers.
Centre owner Ivanhoe Cambridge believes the introduction of chic cafes will
help create a bustling and cosmopolitan environment at the shopping mall.

You will still have your lunch disturbed by the same collection of neds and sengas shouting and swearing so what is the point.
