Introducing the Redevelopment of
Harbourside By Mirvac
Mirvac is proud to announce plans to reimagine the Darling Harbour waterfront for the 21st century and create an iconic new precinct in the heart of Sydney. The redevelopment of Harbourside will be defined and characterised by a network of welcoming public open spaces featuring natural materials and vegetation. At its heart, Waterfront Gardens will become Pyrmont’s new neighbourhood park and community meeting place, with landscaping and moments of art and activation planned to deliver an enlivened precinct that provides locals and visitors alike with a powerful sense of belonging, community and ownership.
The existing Harbourside Shopping Centre occupies over 240 metres of water frontage within Sydney’s iconic Darling Harbour precinct. The complex opened in 1988 as part of the renewal of the whole precinct. Mirvac’s vision is to transform the site into a new world class destination for Sydney that provides locals and visitors alike and leaves a legacy for generations to come.
