Located in Sydney city centre, around the corner from the State Theatre. The Greater Union Pitt Centre was opened on 9th April 1976. It stood on the site of the Liberty Theatre.
The Pitt Centre was one of the early multi-screen cinemas being developed at that time. Its three screens had seating for 650, 450 and 400. The 450-seat auditorium was on the ground floor, with the other two screens on the the first floor.
The Greater Union Pitt Centre closed in May 1999, and was converted into retail use, with a furniture store in one of the spaces. In around 2009, the premises were vacated, and the empty building was demolished in May 2010. A 44-storey office tower will be built on the site.
