Kelsey Gibson and Amie Brown, part of the Real Estate team at Morton Fraser MacRoberts LLP, are pleased to have acted on behalf of Sheet Anchor Investments Limited - part of the investment collective M Core- in securing a new lease at Princes Square by M, Glasgow. Anthropologie, the internationally renowned womenswear and lifestyle brand, opened its newest store on 12 November 2025. Stuart AJ Moncur of Savills acted on behalf of Sheet Anchor and Dan Hillyard of McDevitts acted for Anthropologie.
Anthropologie's arrival marks a significant addition to Princes Square's retail offering, which has seen a flurry of high-quality retailers and food and beverage operators entering the space in recent months. This momentum reflects a broader shift in Glasgow’s city centre retail landscape, where demand for premium retail space is clearly on the rise and high-quality tenants are committing to space in the City.
Following the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Glasgow’s inner-city retail scene is undergoing a welcome resurgence. The uptake of luxury brands within flagship locations such as Princes Square by M and Buchanan Street demonstrates growing confidence among occupiers and investors alike. High-quality tenants are increasingly choosing to commit to long-term space in the city centre, signalling a robust revitalisation of Glasgow’s retail core. Adding to this momentum is the recent announcement of plans to redevelop Buchanan Galleries shopping centre, introducing street-facing shopfronts to better integrate with the surrounding urban environment and enhance the city's shopping experience.
Rakesh Joshi, Director of Leasing at Sheet Anchor Investments Limited, commented:
“At M Core, we are passionate about enhancing the visitor experience at Princes Square by M. The signing of a global brand like Anthropologie reflects our commitment to creating a dynamic destination for shoppers and ensuring Princes Square by M remains a thriving retail hub in Glasgow. MFMAC acted diligently and very responsively throughout the process, demonstrating their professionalism and dedication to delivering results."
