History
Artist's impression of Parkway Newbury

The planning of the 5.7acre site began in 2004. The development began in March 2009 with the site being cleared of buildings. Before construction began, West Berkshire Council had to take several steps to compulsory purchase land for the development. In order for the centre to be joined to the existing streets, 35 and 36 Northbrook Street had to be knocked through.
