Former Saracen police station in Glasgow for sale as development opportunity
Shepherd Chartered Surveyors and BNP Paribas Real Estate have been instructed by Police Scotland to market the former Saracen police station in Glasgow for sale as a development opportunity.
The property is located within the Possilpark area of Glasgow, around two miles north of the city centre occupying a prominent pitch on the corner of Barloch Street and Bardowie Street.
The surrounding area is mixed use in nature with numerous retail occupiers on Saracen Street, a short distance to the west. In addition to retail, the surrounding area benefits from residential areas, community facilities and other commercial uses.
The area benefits from strong transport links with the A879 connecting to the M8 network, only around a 5-minute drive. Rail links can be accessed via either Ashfield or Possilpark and Parkhouse stations, both around a 10–15-minute walk.
The 12,800 sq ft former Saracen police station, arranged over ground and part first floors, benefits from vehicular access via Bardowie Street to the north and pedestrian access to the building from Barloch Street.
At ground floor level, it consists of a reception area, multiple office rooms, former cell block, plant rooms, toilets and staff facilities. At first floor level it provides a kitchen/dining area, multiple offices, open plan multi-function space and further toilets.
The site extends to almost 0.5 acres with a significant yard or parking area all within a secure site.
Adam Honeyman, partner at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, said: “The property is zoned as being within a ‘Local Town Centre’ within the Local Development Plan. Currently vacant, having been used as a police station, it may suit alternative uses subject to obtaining all necessary planning consents. Surrounding uses include residential, retail, trade counter and light industrial.”
Offers in excess of £150,000 are invited. Interested parties should contact the joint selling agents on tel 07720 466 035 or 07901 514 002.
