Glasgow Fort is a large 'out of town' shopping and leisure park located in Auchinlea Park, Provanhall and adjacent to Easterhouse, Glasgow just off Junction 10 of the M8 motorway.
The scheme is unusual when compared to other local out of town schemes such as Braehead in that it is uncovered and therefore the spaces between units are open to the elements. The design of the park incorporates a 'two-sided mall design' intended to recreate a traditional high street.[1]
The scheme opened in October 2004 with Phase 1 of the development providing 390,946 sq ft (36,320.1 m2) of retail accommodation.[1] There are currently over 80 retail units and 4 additional kiosks. Retail range in size from small single floor 570 sq ft (53 sq m) spaces to large multi-floor units that are over 22,000 sq ft (2,000 m2) in size. There are approximately 1,900 car parking spaces for the park.[2]
In 2012, Glasgow Fort Extension is under construction and will be opening in 2013, it will include 5 restaurants including Chiquto, Prezzo, PizzaExpress, TGI Friday's & Harvester & also a Vue Cinema.
Later in October 2013 the extension was open and hundreds of Glaswegians attended the grand opening.
