SouthGate is a shopping centre in Bath, Somerset, England, It is home to over fifty shops, ten restaurants, 99 homes and an 860-space underground car park. It replaced a shopping centre which was demolished in 2007.

The new centre developed by Multi Corporation UK[3][4] is more than double the size of the previous space and provides 37,000 square metres of retail space, 3,500 m2 of leisure space, 2,300 m2 of restaurant space plus 99 residential units.[2] It was designed by Chapman Taylor to mimic Georgian architecture with a Bath stone facade. The first owners were the Aviva Investors.[3] In 2013 British Land purchased a 50% stake for £101 million, leaving Aviva Investors as owners of the other 50%.[5][6]

The development won the Georgian Group Architectural Giles Worsley Award for a New Building in Georgian Context in 2010.[7]
