Cascades Shopping Centre is situated in the commercial heart of the historic and bustling city of Portsmouth on the South Coast of England. The fully enclosed malls offer a weather protected shopping experience with high street retail names such as JJB, Marks & Spencer, H&M, Bhs, TK Maxx, Next, The Fragrance Shop, Primark and Woolworths. The Centre has it's own multi-storey car park connecting straight into the malls by lifts and stairs. The Centre was built in the late 1980s. It opened on September 26, 1989.

Refurbishment

The Centre had a £20m redevelopment of the ground and lower ground floors during 2006/2007. The new mall was opened by the Lord Mayor of Portsmouth Councillor Mike Blake at an official ceremony on May 29, 2007.

The partial redevelopment has replaced the sunken food court, several small shop units, part of the mall and a 49,000 sq ft Bhs store with a new first floor café gallery for the upgraded food offer in the Centre, a brand new BHS, several larger shop units, a new mall and additional parking under a glazed roof.

This opportunity to improve the food and retail offer in Portsmouth City Centre will enable contemporary cafes and restaurants to entice busy shoppers and city centre workers to take a well earned break in stylish surroundings. Recent openings include Dorothy Perkins, Evans, Next, TK Maxx, Subway and The Fragrance Shop.

BHS have been associated with Cascades Shopping Centre since its inception and Tony Hatch, Head of Estates at BHS, said “Whilst the Portsmouth store has always been a good outlet for us this new scheme provides us with an opportunity to achieve a modern efficient store with a better offer for our customers. The local catchment is very loyal and we welcome the proposals put forward by the Landlord to invigorate this already successful location”.
