A new cinema is set to open in Glasgow city centre. 

Vue Entertainment will develop a nine-screen cinema on the site of the former BHS store to the rear of the St Enoch Centre.

The new multiplex is scheduled to open in 2019. 

Morisons Solicitors concluded the deal on behalf of Vue Entertainment which represents a multi-million pound investment and will create a significant number of new full and part-time jobs.

Andrew Warren, Real Estate Team Partner with Morisons, who worked closely with UK Law firm Irwin Mitchell in securing the deal said: “This is great news for Glasgow city centre and it is anticipated it will provide the catalyst for further food outlet openings attracted by the increased footfall generated by the cinema.

“The new cinema is the ninth Vue facility to open in Scotland and compliments the existing operation at Glasgow Fort.

The new Vue forms part of a phased redevelopment programme currently underway by St Enoch’s landlords, Blackstone and their Operating Partner, Sovereign Centros, which will include a reconfiguration of the existing mall and the development of a new additional dedicated restaurant area.
