The impressive cinema and restaurant development is an important piece of the jigsaw in the Civic and Cultural Quarter. It is also part of the wider Urban Centre Masterplan which is seeing numerous major projects help revitalise Doncaster's town centre and make it a highly attractive place to live, visit, work and invest in.

The Civic and Cultural Quarter has become an attractive destination in recent years with the creation of Sir Nigel Gresley Square, the new Civic Offices, the CAST performance venue, and the £15 million investment in Danum Gallery, Library and Museum. New homes have gone up and there is also a new Doncaster University Technical College (UTC).
