The Westfield Sydney redevelopment site is bound by Pitt Street Mall and Market and Castlereagh Streets in the heart of Sydney’s Central Business District. The redevelopment will integrate Westfield Centrepoint and the Centrepoint Convention Centre; Imperial Arcade and Skygarden, provide a new office tower at 85 Castlereagh Street and an extensively modified and refurbished tower at 100 Market Street.

The design for the new Westfield Sydney redevelopment is the result of an international design competition. The winning design from John Wardle Architects was chosen from a field of 6 international and local architects as the outstanding proposal achieving design excellence.

The key elements of the redevelopment are:

Westfield Sydney Retail
The existing Imperial Arcade and Convention Centre buildings will be demolished and Centrepoint and Skygarden will be extensively modified to allow for the creation of a new retail preinct over several levels covering the entire site. The facades facing Castlereagh Street, Pitt Street and Market Street will have shop fronts over two levels from street levels and a glazed façade above on the remaining upper levels of retail. New floor and ceiling finishes will be installed, existing voids and open space will be reconfigured and a new system of escalators will be installed.

100 Market Street commercial tower (previously Australian Taxation Office)
The existing 10 storey pre-cast concrete façade will be removed and replaced with a new glass façade. The entire office will be stripped out internally and a new interior fit out installed. The floor plates have been modified with new light wells cut in providing increased natural light.

85 Castlereagh Street Tower (new commercial tower)
A new commercial 25-storey tower will be built above the new retail podium. Access to the tower will be via new shuttle lifts from the Sky Lobby at the top of the retail precinct which will act as a transition area for access to Castlereagh Street and the retail area.
