The Property Façade Renewal Scheme will provide grants of between £5,000 and £20,000 to owners and eligible leaseholders of occupied commercial premises on St Patrick’s Avenue, Downpatrick.
St Patrick’s Avenue was selected as the first area for investment through the Property Façade Renewal Scheme following a condition survey undertaken in 2025 as part of the wider Downpatrick Living High Streets Framework.
The scheme offers 50% public sector funding, matched by a 50% private sector contribution to support the sympathetic restoration of shopfronts and, where appropriate, the reintroduction of traditional shopfront features to create a more attractive, cohesive and vibrant commercial streetscape, while respecting the street’s historic character.
