Glasgow's famous Tower Records building up for auction after years lying vacant 🎸

The building that used to house the famous Glasgow Tower Records store has been put up for auction - after years spent lying vacant.

At its peak, the chain - famous for its iconic red and yellow sign - had over 200 stores across the globe. However, Tower Records' Glasgow branch closed its doors for the very last time way back in 2002.With such a prominent city centre location by the historic Hielanman's Umbrella, the building has since fallen into a state of disrepair and remains on the Buildings At Risk Register. It was briefly occupied by That's Entertainment Store before it ceased trading in 2013.

Marketing the premises, Future Property Auctions say: "The property comprises a stand-alone iconic building within Glasgow City Centre, designed by James Thomson in 1863, the property offers a Venetian styling and is one of the cities remaining cast iron buildings. "With each floor providing excellent ceiling height, the property lends itself to a variety of uses such as gymnasium, restaurant, bar, nightclub, retail, creative space, office, residential, amongst others.
