Friars Walk, Newport

It has several levels and includes a range of high street shops, eateries, a cinema, a bowling alley and a soft play area.

The ownership of the site has been the source of discussion due to the decision of the freeholder, Newport City Council, to not disclose the beneficial owner of the headlease,[6] and therefore not reveal the recipient of the substantial subsidy payments for empty units, which amounted to £1 million over two years as of 2022.

[7] The site was developed by Queensberry Real Estate after a loan agreement in a public-private partnership with Newport City Council.

[6] In June 2017, the site's developer Queensberry Real Estate sold the centre to Talisker Corporation,[8] the Canadian owner of Main Square in Toronto, and Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah.

[9] In July 2023 it was reported that the rights to the subsidy payment had been sold separately to the ownership of the lease on the site, to a Jersey based business named Old Star Finance.
