Acquired by LCP, part of M Core, in January 2024, Princes Square by M continues to evolve as a premier retail and hospitality destination, offering a vibrant mix of high-end shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Alex Williams, Senior Asset Manager – Head of Scotland at LCP, part of M Core said: “The past year has been transformative for Princes Square by M, with a host of incredible brands choosing to make this their home.

This marks an exciting new chapter for us. We're looking forward to introducing Glasgow shoppers to a gift collection handmade by local artists and handpicked by our global buyer team. Not only will this support the local arts community, but it will also provide our shoppers with a truly distinctive shopping experience.”

Rakesh Joshi, LCP Director, added: “Princes Square by M is an exceptional location that continues to attract top-tier brands and independent retailers alike. We have reduced the number of available stores by 75% since acquisition, intensively managing the centre to ensure we’re offering the best for our shoppers.”
