The architecture is restrained and in a suitably civic large order. It uses a similar sandstone palette and orthogonal articulation to the adjacent Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

The Galleries area of 600,000 sqft is set to increase following an announcement in April 2004 by the Buchanan Galleries owners - Slough Estates - for doubling of size.

Buchanan Galleries east of Buchanan Street includes around 80 shops: John Lewis, Habitat, Next, Boots and Hennes. John Lewis and Habitat include cafes.
The Buchanan Galleries car park has 4,500 spaces.
