Vans and Evans Cycles sign up to Buchanan Street development in Glasgow

The £70m development by landlord Land Securities on 185-221 Buchanan Street will feature footwear retailer Vans’ first Scottish store.

The two additions join retailers Forever 21, Paperchase, Gap, Fat Face, Office and Watches of Switzerland in the site which is now fully pre-let featuring 19 shops.

The development is due to open on March 22, the day after fellow Land Securities’ retail development Trinity Leeds is due to open.
