The plans mark the next phase of a £45m regeneration of the destination as the 330,000 sq ft shopping outlet celebrates its 25th anniversary.
The proposals include creating an al-fresco dining destination with views of the waterfront and a new public staircase.
The grade-II listed Old Customs House will remain unchanged.
Tim Treadwell, head of retail portfolio at Landsec, said: “Landsec outlet destinations continue to perform strongly, with Gunwharf Quays a best-in-class example of the growing demand for outlet shopping in a premium, experience-led environment.
“This next phase of investment at Gunwharf Quays will ensure it continues to attract more of the world’s best brands and further grow its appeal as an unrivalled all-day-out destination.”
The proposals build on enhancements completed at the centre’s The Avenues area and soon to be completes in Marlborough Square, one of the site’s main arrival points.
Footfall is up 5.7% at Gunwharf Quays in the financial year to date, ahead of the MRI national benchmark of 0.2%.
Subject to planning approval, works are expected to start in 2027.
