Argyle Building, Glasgow, Residential skyscraper in Anderston, Glasgow, United Kingdom
The Argyle Building is a contemporary residential tower in Glasgow featuring a glass and steel facade that stands out against the urban skyline. The 21-story structure houses apartments above commercial office spaces and serves as a prominent landmark in the Anderston neighborhood.
The building was completed in 2008 as part of Glasgow's residential expansion in the early 2000s. Its construction reflected the city's shift toward modernizing neighborhoods that had previously served industrial purposes.
The building represents the transformation of Anderston from an industrial area into a modern residential district within Glasgow's evolving cityscape.
The tower sits near Kingston Bridge in an accessible urban location that is easy to reach on foot or by public transport. Its modern design makes navigation straightforward for anyone visiting the area or passing through.
The tower appears regularly in BBC Scotland news broadcasts because it stands adjacent to the broadcaster's main office. This location makes it a recognizable landmark in televised reports about the city.
