Expected to open in autumn 2015, the store will be the anchor for Newport’s multi-million pound redevelopment, Friars Walk, which was granted planning permission in March 2012.
Developer Queensberry Real Estate will demolish existing buildings in the John Frost Square area and create the landmark department store, together with 35 shop units, an eight-screen cinema, up to ten restaurants and cafes, a new bus station and a 360-space car park. It is anticipated that work will start on the development in 2013.
Gareth Dougherty, acquisitions manager at Debenhams, comments: 'Newport has been a priority for us for sometime being one of the largest UK cities without a Debenhams.
'We are delighted to be anchoring Friars Walk with a full line department store. The development will give us the opportunity to bring the Debenhams brand and its designers to Newport'.
