New Sydney Fish Market Nears Handover as Opening Date Remains Unset

The operator expects to announce a launch date within weeks following next month’s handover.

Overview

  • NSW officials say practical completion will allow a mid-November handover to the operator for retailer fit‑outs.
  • Fit‑outs for 40 stores are underway, with management targeting sufficient retailer readiness before opening.
  • Sydney Fish Market’s CEO said an opening date will be revealed imminently and indicated trading should begin this year.
  • The new venue is projected to draw about 6 million visits annually with trading extended to 10pm each night.
  • Reporting notes a $250 million claim by builder Multiplex and differing project cost figures ($700m vs $836m), as the government advances plans to redevelop the old Pyrmont site for roughly 1,200 homes and aims to select between Mirvac and Lendlease by year’s end.
