At the end of December 2021, a design collaboration between Snøhetta and Hassell was announced as the winner of an international design excellence competition to transform Harbourside in Darling Harbour into a new, iconic and inviting destination at the heart of Sydney. Mirvac is the property developer. 

The Harbourside retail center stretches over 240 meters of water frontage within Sydney’s iconic Darling Harbour area. The mixed-use redevelopment of the site will deliver a premium shopping, hospitality and entertainment destination and a 42-story high-end residential tower, as well as upgrades to public spaces on the waterfront and a new public square connecting the development to Pyrmont Bridge.

The concept for Harbourside is defined by a network of welcoming public open spaces featuring natural materials and vegetation. At its heart, the Guardian Square will become the area of Pyrmont's new neighborhood park and community meeting place.
