Glasgow Selfridges - News Update Jun 2007 Architect apparently working on a new project, formerly by BDP and at one point Toyo Ito Selfridges Scotland Toyo Ito plans for Selfridges Glasgow store, Scotland, reported to have been revised following Selfridges' July 2003 takeover. Toyo Ito Architects have not been able to release proposals for Glasgow Selfridges despite requests in 2003 & 2004: further details will be posted if received. Selfridges Glasgow Selfridges are reported to have had exclusive talks with the property developer Wilson Bowden in mid-2004 about resurrecting plans to build a large store in the Merchant City, Glasgow [merchant_city.htm]. Selfridges would still use the Trongate site purchased in late 2002. The Selfridges site was formerly home to the Goldberg store and the Clydesdale Bank: there is an opportunity for a 110 metre facade onto the Trongate. Back in 2001 Selfridges announced its plans to build a £90m store in Glasgow, using Toyo Ito Architects, for opening in 2007, but appeared to abandon the concept of a Selfridges Scotland store in favour of existing outlets after being taken over by the Canadian billionaire Galen Weston in 2003. Around 200,000 sq ft of a larger site may be occupied by Selfridges. Frogmore and Pathfinder have both been involved in this initiative.
