Recent Development
Castlebawn Shopping Centre is a proposed £250 million, 75-acre (300,000 m2), shopping centre and retail park in Newtownards. The proposals, which promise to create up to 2,000 jobs, will extend the town centre and edge of centre southwards in a three-stage development, which was expected to be completed by 2012. However, as of October 2012, only Tesco Extra, Matalan, Discount NI and Home Bargains have been completed. Matalan, Home Bargains and Discount NI are in the retail units directly beside Tesco.
