The Capitol

Spoke with a friend who works in commercial property in the city centre who says Gravity Max is still going ahead, and in fact both Gravity and Capitol Arena will probably commence works simultaneously as there's some back of house facilities which need changing to accommodate both.

I do like the Capitol Arena logo emulating the old Capitol Theatre sign, which I think the shopping centre also did when it first opened.

Work has begun to strip out the Capitol Centre ready to create a single unit for Gravity Max, which is scheduled to open later this year.

Apparently there is interest in the other units from food operators spurred on by the signing of Gravity, so along with the Capitol Arena the centre could be about to make one of the biggest turnarounds in shopping centre history and become fully let.

This is apparently a visual of the Gravity Max entrance at the Capitol (the entrance opposite KFC, Sainsburys etc):

Goddamn. The Capitol centre be looking radically different! I'll be coming down from Manchester in a couple weeks so I'd be curious to see if any work has been done since the last time I visited

Except that's not The Capitol or Queen Street!
