History

Inside the Capitol Centre

The Capitol Centre was opened in 1990, with attempts to replicate the original architecture. Ceramic tiles from the previous Victorian Dutch Cafe tearooms were incorporated on the eastern exterior.[3] The style of build dated very quickly and, in 1999, the centre underwent a £10 million redevelopment, which included the refurbishment of the pedestrian areas, the removal of the food court and new entrances into the centre (although much of the original external facade still remains). It was completed in November 1999.[4]

There were plans to develop 164 apartments, plus retail and commercial space and additional car parking facilities at the corner of North Edward Street and Station Terrace. This would provide 50 per cent additional spaces, bringing the total car parking spaces up to 632.[2] The scheme architects, Dobson Architects, expected it could be completed by 2012, but this never happened.[2]

In 2015 Capitol Centre was bought by new owner NewRiver Retail.[3]

In 2022 plans were revealed to create a new 14,500 sq ft food court in attempts to revive the centre's fortunes.[3]

Black Sheep Coffee Company recently leased a unit at the Capitol Centre, however it is still yet to be announced as to when this unit is to open to the general public.

Cinema

The centre had originally also housed a five-screen Odeon cinema up until 2001, it has reopened in April 2015 operated by Premiere Cinemas.[5][6] In October 2022, Premier Cinema closed permanently. The Job Centre plus opened on 19 May 2021, in late 2023, it announced its closure. (Site decommissioned 13 October 2023)
