Glasgow's most stylish shopping centre turns 35 🎂
The art nouveau-style shopping centre has been praised for its stunning architecture which was envisioned by the esteemed Hugh Martin Partnership.
It earned the title of Scotland's Best Building in 2016 and author Bill Bryson hailed it as"one of the most intelligent pieces of urban renewal".Princes Square first opened as a shopping and dining destination in 1988. After being taken over by real estate firm Redeveco, the centre underwent a major £7.5 million refurbishment.The owner at the time, James Campbell, was knighted by Queen Victoria and later became the Lord Provost of Glasgow.
He named the building Princes Square in celebration of the Prince of Wales, who later became Edward VII. The Grade B listed buildings were developed in the 1980s by GRE Properties Ltd to become a modern shopping and dining centre"with an emphasis on style".Katie Moody, centre director of Princes Square said: “Princes Square has remained an enduring presence for the past 35 years, combining timeless elegance with continuous evolution.
"Our visionary blend of retail and dining experiences has always kept us ahead of the curve. Here’s to the next 35 years of success!”
