The Subirach Building is one of Glasgow's most distinctive residential addresses, created from the restoration of a 19th-century Category B Listed building. Named after renowned Catalan sculptor Josep Maria Subirachs, whose striking artwork adorns the façade, the development draws inspiration from the architecture and culture of Barcelona.
Situated in one of Glasgow City Centre's most convenient and sought-after locations, The Subirach offers effortless access to the very best the city has to offer. Merchant City, with its renowned collection of restaurants, bars and cafés, is just moments away, while Strathclyde University, Glasgow Caledonian University and the City of Glasgow College are all within easy walking distance.

Seller's Insight:
"I bought the flat as a single guy, making the most of everything city living had to offer, and before long my partner moved in and daughter moved in, with Strathclyde University just a short walk away for her studies. It’s funny how the place has grown with us, from a city pad to a proper family home, without losing any of the buzz of being right in the heart of things. We’ve had family Sunday lunches, 20 people round for our traditional Christmas Eve wine and cheese party, spontaneous cinema trips, gym visits and shopping trips, with everyone heading off in different directions. Getting around is never an issue! The West End is just a subway ride away, and one of my favourite new family traditions is a Sunday trip to the Barras for the brilliant street food (get there before 1pm, as it gets busy), followed by coffee at Tasse’s with Reece for a weekly catch up, all within easy reach. It’s a place that’s worked just as well for me as a single guy, as a couple, and now as a family. We’re only leaving to help an elderly family member in London, so it’s definitely not a move we’d otherwise be making."
