GLASGOW GETS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT FOR NEW RESTAURANT

The UK’s largest Cantonese restaurant has opened its doors in Glasgow in a deal driven by Credential Property, landlords of The Point, a retail and trade park located at Hamilton Hill, Port Dundas.

The 600 seater restaurant, which is the first of its kind in Scotland, is operated by See Woo, one of the UK’s leading oriental food specialists who spent three years looking for a suitable Glasgow site.

Fifteen chefs were drafted in from China to service the restaurant, which aims to promote the authentic Far East way of eating through its extensive menu.

The restaurant deal forms part of an adjoining 90,000 sq ft Cash & Carry lease for 25 years to See Woo Foods.

Situated on the corner of Saracen Street and Possil Road, The Point occupies a landmark location and has been developed by Credential Property to create a retail and trade counter estate spanning 190,000 sq ft. Existing tenants include Euro Car Parts, Howden Joinery and Jet Set Saddlery. Only one 5,500 sq ft retail unit remains for let. The site, which includes substantial car parking, was formerly leased by Eddie Stobart.

Established in 1975 in London’s Chinatown, See Woo operates cash and carry outlets supplying oriental cuisine.

Credential Holdings currently owns and manages a substantial portfolio of investment properties, valued in excess of £160m, which includes over 450,000 sq.ft. of retail, commercial and leisure space and £50m of residential property currently under development.
