A proposal to demolish the City Sawmills at Port Dundas and build 60 flats in its place was blocked by Historic Environment Scotland, then the Court of Session, in 2024.
Campaigners for the architecturally significant structure, however, had no idea the site also housed CJ's, a sex club, the BBC has reported.
The establishment boasts eight playrooms, including a "fully equipped dungeon".
Labour MSP Paul Sweeney, who was heavily involved in the initiative to save the building and objected to the plan by Weiss Development Company Ltd, said he did not know about the club.
He said: "I am pleased an important piece of Glasgow's heritage has been preserved for future generations to enjoy.

"However, when I first heard that the building was to be knocked down to make way for flats, I wasn't aware there was a so-called adult club operating in there.
"It's just one of those things – what can you do?"
The politician fought to keep the sawmill intact because it is "a good surviving example of a late 19th century industrial office building".
It was founded by James Brownlee in 1848 and became the largest firm of timber merchants in Scotland.
According the BBC, CJ's hosts "friendly and relaxed" parties in safe surroundings with tea, coffee and a buffet.
