St. Enoch Train Station first opened its doors in 1876 and the St. Enoch Hotel
followed in 1879, with over 200 bedrooms it soon became the city’s largest hotel. St. Enoch Station
itself saw many famous faces over the years with perhaps one of the most prominent being that of
Queen Victoria who arrived in Glasgow on August 22nd 1888 to view the International Exhibition
in Kelvingrove Park.
The St. Enoch Hotel was closed in 1974 because it failed to comply with new fire regulations and
the site was used as a surface car park until 1985 when initial work started on the St. Enoch
Shopping Centre. In 1996 the St. Enoch Centre was sold by the Church Commissioners and Sears
Properties Limited to a German Pension Fund called Deka Immobillien for £160 million.
During the early part of 1998 the St. Enoch Centre underwent a major refurbishment programme to
add more retail space and enhance the entrance facing onto Argyle Street. 55,000 square feet
of retail space was created and retailers are now established additions to the
Centre's already wide shopping choice.
In February 2005 the St. Enoch Centre once again changed ownership and is now owned
by Ivanhoe Cambridge. Exciting development plans are currently in the
pipeline and will guarantee the St. Enoch Centre's place in the forefront of retail within
the city of Glasgow for many years to come.

Centre Management Team.
