In 2016 the centre closed for a £30 million redevelopment,[2] as one of the three redevelopments in Durham City, in partnership with Durham BID worth almost £190 million.[3] The complex being built on the former site of The Gates named the Riverwalk[4] was opened in summer 2019 and consists of over 20 refurbished shopping units,[3] including Poundland,[5] Cex[6] (pre-existing unit) and Santander.[7] The Riverwalk complex also has a large Odeon Cinema.[8][3] Free parking for vehicles was introduced in summer 2020.[9]
