The Boulevard At The Capital Centre

The Boulevard at the Capital Centre was an open-air shopping center in Lake Arbor, Prince George's County, Maryland; it had a Landover postal address. It was located on the former site of the Capital Centre, previously the home of the Washington Bulletsand Washington Capitals.
Opened in 2003, the Boulevard at the Capital Centre was located next to the Largo Town Center Washington Metro station (the eastern terminus of the Blue and SilverLines). The facility had more than 70 establishments. It was formerly the home of short-lived chain restaurant Gladys Knight & Ron Winans' Chicken & Waffles.
Though it was envisioned as a middle-class destination when it opened, the mall soon began to struggle. Its more desirable retailers closed and were replaced with downscale offerings like T-shirt and cell phone shops; many vacancies also remained.It also experienced problems with crime: five people were killed at the mall between 2005 and 2009, and there were 101 car break-ins in 2008.
In November 2017, the shopping center closed to build the new University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center. In addition there were to be new luxury apartments, restaurants, and a shopping center. 
When the Boulevard closed, surviving businesses included Chick-Fil-A, TGI Friday's, Carolina Kitchen, The Magic Johnson Theater, Phoenix Salon, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Golden Corral. The area will be known as Downtown Largo once completed. Phase 1 of construction is expected to be finished not later than spring 2021.[citation needed]
In July 2019, demolition of 290,000 square feet (27,000 m2) of retail space commenced to make way for Carillon, a new lifestyle-oriented mixed-use development on the same site.
