Captain Cook Square, Middlesbrough

Captain Cook Square is a vibrant, modern open-air shopping centre prominently located adjacent to the town’s main bus station, providing excellent accessibility and connectivity. The scheme extends to approximately 245,000 sq ft of retail accommodation and benefits from a 773-space multi-storey car park, supporting strong customer convenience and footfall.

The centre is anchored by a range of well-known national multiples including CEX, The Entertainer, Waterstones and Poundland, alongside a mix of complementary retailers and service operators, creating a diverse and well-balanced retail environment.

In 2023, the western half of the scheme underwent a significant transformation, delivering a new leisure-focused offer with the introduction of Level X, alongside extensive public realm improvements. These enhancements have further strengthened the centre’s appeal as a key retail and leisure destination within Middlesbrough, driving increased dwell time and visitor engagement.
