New business opportunities at a category A-listed Glasgow landmark

06 Feb 2025

Wasps Studios has now completed a £4m construction project on The Briggait Clydeside Market Halls that will transform 1,200 sqm of derelict fish market halls into an exciting riverside destination for events, food and drink, markets, performances and exhibitions. 

The project brings back into use the 1889 and 1904 market halls in this iconic ‘A’ listed building on Glasgow’s skyline. Along with the existing 1873 hall, this will return the oldest surviving collection of market halls in Scotland to public use for the first time in 50 years. 

The project also offers exciting business opportunities. Wasps is currently looking for expressions of interest to find operators for the following: 

• A new café (74m2) with a prominent location on to Clyde Street, facing onto the river. The café is located within a new public entrance that restores the striking architectural features of the façade 
• The Corner Block: a new self-contained shell unit, on the corner of the Briggait with direct access onto Clyde Street. The double height 124m2 space has potential for food and drink, retail and other uses 

Interested parties may apply for either or both opportunities. 

The Briggait is already established as a vibrant hub and the completion of this project will reinforce its position as a cornerstone in Glasgow’s cultural landscape. We look forward to welcoming you to this amazing building. – Audrey Carlin, Chief Executive Officer
