The Menai Shopping Centre ? New £30m Bangor Health Hub:
The Menai Shopping Centre forms the central retail location in Bangor. Totalling some 130,000 sq ft, occupiers include JD Sports, Hays Travel, Three, The Factory Shop, Superdrug and Burger King.
The Menai Shopping Centre was previously anchored by a Debenhams department store. The store is to become a significant health and wellbeing hub with some £30m of investment having been approved by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Gwynedd Council. Plans have been submitted to the Health Board and Welsh Government for formal approval. Contracts have been exchanged to sell a long leasehold interest to the Health Board for the Hub and it is anticipated that completion will occur during 2025 once Welsh Government approval has been granted.
The development will provide a significant boost to Bangor city centre with an increase anticipated in footfall within the city centre as a result. It is anticipated that the new Health Hub will open 2025/2026. Further details can be seen ici.
The sale of the former Debenhams unit includes passing the ownership of the town-centre multi-story car park to the Health Board.
Varcity Living Scheme:
Nearby at 290-294 High Street, Varcity Living Limited is undertaking a substantial redevelopment of the former Peacocks store to comprise commercial space on ground floor with residential accommodation on the upper floors. The project is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
