SituationCustom House is located in an outstanding conservation area on the junction of Clyde Street (A814) and Dixon Street overlooking the River Clyde in the heart of nthe City Centre and directly in front of the main shopping district. The proximity to shopping facilities is second-to-none with the St Enoch Shopping Centre, Argyle Street and Buchanan Street all nearby. Communication links are unparalleled with Glasgow Central Station, Argyle Street Station and the Enoch Underground Station all within 5 minutes’ walk of the property.
Glasgow's city centre remains one of the largest and most successful shopping and leisure destinations outside London and continues to attract considerable national and international investment.
The Commonwealth Games in 2014 stimulated significant investment in Glasgow with the Clyde waterfront benefiting from much of this. Other buildings of note in the area are Glasgow Science Centre, IMAX Cinema, Glasgow Tower and the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC). As part of the Clyde Waterfront Strategy, Glasgow Council has highlighted the land and buildings surrounding the waterfront for development and is promoting the creation of a high quality public environment.
