Tenancies available for new Sydney Fish Market
Tenancies are now available at the NSW government’s new Sydney Fish Market project, which is part of the revitalisation of Blackwattle Bay.
The government has invested $750 million into the waterfront destination, which hosts the largest working fish market in the southern hemisphere.
Designed by renowned architects 3XN, the aim is to create a world-class visitor experience.
The new Sydney Fish Market, which spans 30,000sqm, will showcase Australia’s seafood industry and Sydney’s culinary scene. It will have 12,000sqm of new retail space.
The larger space is expected to attract 6 million people from around the world and double its current annual visitation.
“We are a one-stop-shop for Sydney food-lovers, with a fantastic butcher, bakery, green-grocer, artisanal deli, and bottleshop onsite, as well as our world-class wet seafood retailers,” Sydney Fish Market Greg Dyer said.
“Our new state-of-the-art facilities present an opportunity to expand the Market’s offerings even further and deliver a truly one-of-a-kind visitor experience.”
Retail Strategy Group will develop the retail strategy, curate and lease the new Sydney Fish Market precinct.
Nineteen new opportunities are available for small and large tenancies, catering for everything from grab-and-go options to restaurants and breweries.
“Against the backdrop of Blackwattle Bay, Sydney Fish Market’s restaurants, bars and hospitality offerings will trade seven days a week. From an early morning coffee and pastry, through to an ice-cream after fish and chips, the Market will be a place for everyone,” Retail Strategy Group director Angela Bonnefin.
“Our approach to the leasing and curation of the new market is simple. We want the finest operators in each category to join us on a journey to create a world-class fresh food marketplace. Everyone is eligible to apply through the expression of interest phase and we can’t wait to work with the best-in-class retailers to bring this iconic project to life.”
Partner at 3XN Fred Holt said “The revitalised Market acts as a social catalyst for community activity and will establish itself as an exciting new destination for Sydney. Additionally, it rekindles a sense of nostalgia among Sydneysiders, as it brings them back to the beloved and iconic fish market.”
The venue is located less than 2km from the heart of the city.
