The building, which was formerly known as the Sauchiehall Centre, was acquired by KKR and Quadrant Estates in March 2015 and is the subject of major refurbishment plans.

Chilango has taken a 15-year lease on a ground floor unit at the scheme, which will extend to approximately 1,500 sq ft.

Redevelopment of the unit featuring custom graffiti murals and neon artwork will commence in September 2016, and is due for completion by the end of March 2017.

Vanessa Buchan, associate partner at Quadrant Estates said:  “We’re delighted to welcome Chilango to the Sauchiehall Building.  It is yet another fantastic brand that complements the existing line-up of leading leisure and retail brands and further reinforces the growing appeal of the location.

“We will shortly be launching the marketing of our last restaurant which comprises 4,500 sq ft on the first floor of the western corner of the Building, which will also be delivered in March 2017.

Andy Ross, head of property at Chilango added: “We are very excited to be a part of this new scheme that is sure to bring a new dimension to this part of Sauchiehall Street. We are looking forward to opening in 2017 and this acquisition continues our UK roll-out, with further openings planned this year.”
