Guy Beaumont, director of development at Sovereign Centros, added: “Despite the considerable challenges of Covid, we are proud that the final stage of work on the Vue is now underway and firmly believe that this will be a valuable addition to Glasgow city centre, in particular, to the night-time economy in 2021.

“It is testament to St. Enoch Centre and to Glasgow city centre that we already have five restaurants committed and discussions are progressing with other outlets to become part of this exciting redevelopment.”

The Dunlop street entrance is now open and work is underway on restaurants including Donut King, Dehli Darbar, Nando’s, Smashburger, COSMO.

Glasgow Chamber of Commerce chief executive Stuart Patrick said: "We warmly welcome this investment and continued commitment to the city. St Enoch Centre has long been a crucial contributor to the Glasgow’s retail mix, and this latest stage in its redevelopment will see it also become a leisure destination outwith shopping hours, adding to the visitor experience in the area south of Argyle Street and to the night-time economy."
