New food precinct for Marrickville Metro Shopping Centre development

A $142 million development of Marrickville Metro Shopping Centre in Sydney’s inner west will include more al fresco dining and fresh food offerings.

Plans for the development will see the existing Metro centre extended to 33,000sqm from 22,000sqm, with a design that celebrates the food and art culture of Sydney’s inner-west.

“In true inner-west style, the development will ‘up-cycle’ a disused industrial warehouse located next to ‘The Metro’ and will maintain much of the existing warehouse façade,” said UniSuper’s head of property, Kent Robbins.

UniSuper said it will work with local artists and business owners to create a space that “truly reflects the diversity of Sydney’s Inner West and those who call this area home”.

“We’ll work to create a retail space that is designed with a community focus; bringing public art and expression to the forefront and to create a destination that locals can be proud of.”
