Castlemilk Police Station Site For Sale As Prime Development Prospect

Shepherd Chartered Surveyors has been appointed by Police Scotland to market the former Castlemilk police station for sale, presenting it as a prime development opportunity.

Situated just five miles southeast of Glasgow city centre, the Castlemilk site is well-connected, with Aikenhead Road (B766) offering access to the M74 and nearby areas including Rutherglen and Carmunnock. Croftfoot railway station is also close by, providing frequent services to Glasgow Central station.

The property is prominently located on Dougrie Road, just off Aikenhead Road, within a mixed-use area featuring both residential and commercial neighbours such as Castlemilk Health Centre and St Margaret Mary's Secondary School. It also lies near The Braes Shopping Centre, a long-standing retail hub home to national and local outlets including McDonald's, Iceland, B&M, Greggs, and Optical Express.

Formerly operated as a police station, the single-storey standalone building includes a dedicated entrance, several office spaces, staff kitchen and dining facilities, a storeroom, server room, and a rear car park with space for 10 vehicles. The site spans approximately one-third of an acre and is considered suitable for residential conversion or redevelopment.

Calvin Molinari of Shepherd Chartered Surveyors said: "The site's generous size and prime location present an exceptional opportunity for developers. The existing building layout and extensive car park offer great potential to be repurposed and integrated into future plans."
