Description
Location
The premises, are ideally located on Bath Street, one of Glasgow’s most vibrant and strategically positioned thoroughfares. Just steps from Sauchiehall Street, the property sits at the heart of the city’s established nightlife and leisure quarter. This central location benefits from high footfall, strong visibility, and excellent connectivity to the wider city and beyond.
The upper floors of the property are well located for office or creative commercial use, benefiting from a central location on Bath Street, one of Glasgow’s core professional and business corridors. This area is home to a mix of law firms, design studios, marketing agencies, and serviced office providers, making it ideal for small-to-mid-sized businesses seeking a city-centre address with character.
The property also offers an excellent location for residential, aparthotel, or student accommodation development, subject to consents. The area enjoys strong demand from a diverse mix of residents, including young professionals, university students, and business travellers.
Transport Links
The area is extremely well-served by public transport, with Charing Cross station a short walk away, and multiple bus and taxi links operating nearby. It also lies within walking distance of Glasgow Central Station, Queen Street Station and the Buchanan Street subway, making it a natural gathering point for after-work socialising, late-night entertainment, and weekend trade.
Bath Street also benefits from proximity and easy access to the M8 motorway, providing swift connections to Glasgow Airport, Edinburgh, and the wider central Scotland motorway network.

In addition, the office suites over the ground floor at 195, 197 and 199, all have separate accesses directly from Bath Street.

The premises, represent a rare opportunity to acquire a well-positioned, mixed-use property in one of Glasgow’s busiest commercial and leisure areas. Situated on Bath Street, close to Sauchiehall Street and Charing Cross, the location benefits from heavy footfall, excellent public transport links, and proximity to major city attractions and business hubs.
The lower ground floor is occupied by Bunker Bar, a long-established and well-known name in Glasgow’s hospitality scene. With a strong local following, themed nights, and consistent trade, the bar provides a stable rental stream. The business is unaffected by the sale and will continue to operate under the lease agreement that is in place.
The upper floors, currently configured as good quality secondary office space, offer significant scope for value enhancement. These floors are suitable for letting to creative businesses, freelancers, professional practices, healthcare, co-working operators, or could be refurbished to create event spaces or meeting rooms.
Development Options
The asset has been managed to gain vacant possession on upper floor space over the short term, to enable redevelopment.
Given its central location and traditional building style, the property lends itself well to redevelopment into residential apartments or student accommodation. Bath Street is surrounded by hotels, university buildings, and major entertainment venues, making it ideal for short-term or long-term living solutions.
Alternatively, the space could be transformed into a serviced aparthotel or serviced apartments, targeting business travellers, tourists, or extended-stay guests.
While change of use would require planning permission, the building is in a zone where mixed-use and residential redevelopment is generally supported by the local authority. In addition, the top floor has historical consent for residential uses. The city’s ongoing demand for both residential accommodation and flexible short stay lodging, makes this an attractive repositioning opportunity.
Opportunity Summary
Whether retained as a mixed-use investment, or transformed into residential or serviced apartments, this property offers significant income potential and capital growth opportunity.
Price
The premises have been placed on the market at offers over £3,250,000 for the benefit of the heritable interest, subject to the current occupational leases.
EPC
The offices have an EPC rating of D.
