Newport Regeneration
Newport City is undergoing major transformation. Large areas of the city are being developed and regenerated with the aim of generating a safer, cleaner and more vibrant centre for people to live and work. Some of the key new developments are described below:

City Spires
Plans to develop the current Cambrian Centre into a new £90 million retail and leisure scheme called City Spires are progressing.
Proposals for the City Spires development have been granted planning permission by the council, including 92,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space, 80,000 sq ft of office space, an 882-space car park, hotel and apartments.
The development with its 100 metre skyscraper tower will create a bold statement of the city’s ambition at a gateway location into the city centre.
The developers are also including more than £1m of works to improve the area along Queensway and Cambrian Road, and are re-opening Railway Street as a pedestrian route.
Developers Modus Corovest (Newport) Ltd will completely redevelop the centre to complement the £200 million Friars Walk project they are already leading in the city centre.

Friars Walk – a new £200m retail scheme
Developers Modus Corovest (Newport) Ltd are leading a £200 million facelift of the city centre which will create hundreds of jobs, and attract high profile retailers.
The new retail scheme covers an area comprising of Kingsway, Upper Dock Street, John Frost Square and the Bus Station. A key feature of the development will be to bring together Newport’s riverfront and commercial centre, allowing people to walk easily between the two areas.
Work on the four-hectare site is expected to start in the latter part of 2008 and be completed in time for the thousands of visitors expected to the city for the 2010 Ryder Cup.
