Description
One of the Merchant City's premier penthouse apartments within the iconic GPO Building. This exceptionally generous three-bedroom duplex apartment spans over 1780 sq ft, with a striking open plan living space extending to 37 ft (11m) from the dining space to the expansive living area.

The development is centrally located within Glasgow's thriving and popular Merchant City.
Notable features for residents of the GPO Building are the immaculate entrance lobby with concierge and mailboxes; a second entrance on Hanover Street for easy access to the apartment; a resident's gym room and an active Residents Committee working with the Factors to help manage and maintain the building to an excellent standard, most recently overseeing the replacement of the roof in 2024 which comes with a 20 year guarantee.
