Built in the style of Alexander Thomson, the former warehouse is now home to the Thundercat Bar / Diner, El Santo Restaurant and three floors of commercial workspace.

The façade refurbishment - which has returned the frontage of the sandstone building to its former glory, as well as preserving its safety, integrity and value - comprises part of Glasgow City Council’s ‘Avenues Project’, which aims to regenerate Glasgow city centre.

The refurbishment of the exterior, which included cleaning the elegant frontage with super-heated steam, was partly funded by a grant from Glasgow City Heritage Trust. The project was managed by Sentry, working closely with John Gilbert Architects and AGM Stone, who have recently completed similar work at the Mitchell Library and the Gallery of Modern Art.

Gary Russell, director at Sentry, said: “84 Miller Street is a very recognisable building in Glasgow city centre, with its elegant façade having been home to many businesses over its lifetime.

“As we took over the building management, we saw that the building needed to be restored to its original grandeur, to preserve its heritage and history and significantly enhance the property’s commercial potential. We have worked hard to bring its exterior back to life so that it showcases both its occupiers and the City of Glasgow perfectly.

“The grant we received from Glasgow City Heritage Trust supported the owner’s investment in the building and allowed us to restore the face of this beautiful building.”

Scott Abercrombie, associate director at John Gilbert Architects and lead architect in the refurbishment of 84 Miller Street’s façade, said: “I am really pleased to see the work at 84 Miller Street completed and to have had the privilege of conserving this architectural gem in the heart of Glasgow.

“Our restoration was the result of a successful collaboration with Sentry Management, who allowed us to both honour the building’s architectural significance and at the same time, modernise its look and feel, bringing it back to life whilst respecting its history, including improvements to rainwater goods, windows and stonework.

“This significant refurbishment reflects the shared commitment of all involved in the project, to preserving the rich heritage of Glasgow for future generations.”
