Everything about The Quadrant Shopping Centre totally explained
The
Quadrant Shopping Centre is the principal under-cover shopping centre in the city of
Swansea,
Wales. It was originally opened in 1978 and has had a number of facelifts since. It consists of two shopping levels, but the second level only consists of the second-floor entrances to Boots and Debenhams as well as the public conveniences. It is directly adjacent to
Swansea Market in the
city centre and is connected internally to the market.
Stores
The centre is deemed successful, having filled its units, but some of its stores are taken up by downmarket private stores.
The anchors of the centre are
Debenhams,
W H Smith and
Boots. Other notable stores include
HMV, Clarks, Dorothy Perkins and Oasis, amongst many others.
The building
The centre's main distinctions are its glass roof structure and its large square atrium at the centre, which is now leased out to seasonal businesses, mainly during festive periods. The centre's decor is dated, as much of its upper floor consists of open brickwork from the 1980s. The centre was last redeveloped in the early 1990s, but that was mainly just a substantial facelift when compared to the previous revamp which included the addition of 'The Gallery', a cafe that overlooked the central square and
Debenhams store.
Surroundings & future
To the west of the shopping centre lies
Swansea's bus station. On the south side of the mall is a multi-storey car park. To the east of the Quadrant centre is the considerably less successful
St. David's Shopping Centre complex. The complex is seen by many locals as a white elephant that deserves to be demolished as it overshadows the Quadrant centre. Also, Swansea City & County Council is planning to demolish the entirety of the area, replacing it with a new Quadrant development based around St Mary's Square, the new city bus station and Oystermouth Road including its boulevard redevelopment and the Paxton Street ground-level car park.
Ownership
The Quadrant and surrounding areas are owned by the
City and County of Swansea council.
