Fairhill Shopping Centre is thrilled to announce the commencement of an extensive internal revamp and branding project, marking a further significant investment into the future of the centre.
This multi-million-pound transformation underscores Fairhill's commitment to enhancing the shopping experience for its customers and solidifying its place amongst the region's premier retail destinations.
The ambitious plans will include:
• New Floor Tiles: Modern, durable, and aesthetically pleasing tiles to create a refreshed and inviting atmosphere throughout the centre.
• Lighting: State-of-the-art lighting solutions in the malls to brighten and enhance the shopping environment, improving both visibility and energy efficiency.
• Updated Internal Elevations: Contemporary design enhancements to elevate the centre's overall visual appeal and create a vibrant, welcoming space.
• Enhanced Shopfronts: Redesigned and improved facades, providing retailers with a fresh platform to showcase their brands and attract shoppers.
• Brand Refresh: A comprehensive brand refresh will include a new logo design, along with updated signage for both the internal and external areas of the centre, as well as the car park, all designed to enhance the modern shopping experience.
The announcement comes ahead of the opening of the landmark Primark store in the coming months and will culminate a near £10m investment by the local owners.

Ryan Walker, a director of Magmel (Ballymena) Limited owner of Fairhill Shopping Centre said:
"We are really pleased with the pace of developments at Fairhill and are particularly excited to announce this latest significant investment. By Q4 of 2025, we will have successfully repositioned Fairhill back onto the list of must-visit retail destinations in Northern Ireland.
“We have some exciting tenant announcements to make in the coming months and there is a real sense of excitement of what lies ahead for Fairhill. We really appreciate our customer's patience and cooperation over the last year which has involved significant construction projects and at times, some associated disruption."
The redevelopment project is set to unfold in carefully planned phases to ensure minimal disruption to shoppers and retailers.
