Re-mixing the ground plane of a key CBD street, across four commercial assets next to Brookfield Place.
Four buildings changed hands. There was never a better time to rethink the street.
Brookfield's acquisition of 32, 36, 50 and 60 Carrington Street, right beside Brookfield Place, opened the way to invest in, rejuvenate and re-mix the retail at the ground plane of a key CBD street.
We led the strategy and delivery of the repositioning. Owning four assets on one street let the landlord lead a wider stakeholder group, with the City of Sydney, Transport for NSW and neighbouring owners, to improve the whole Wynyard precinct.
Four buildings, one street
Separate assets with their own tenants and leases had to be re-mixed into one street offer.
Many hands on the public realm
Laneways and Wynyard Park sit with Council, Transport for NSW and neighbours. Nothing moved without them.
Next to a new landmark
Brookfield Place was setting a new standard next door. Carrington Street had to step up and connect to it.
Retail strategy and delivery for the repositioning: a new ground-floor mix, laneway retail and the complete refurbishment of 36 Carrington Street.
Through a landlord-led stakeholder group with the City of Sydney, Transport for NSW and neighbouring owners.
A renewed street connected to Brookfield Place: CCACHE at 32 Carrington, Bopp & Tone and June's Cafe at 60 Carrington, Scala Lane restaurant activating Wynyard Lane, and Wynyard Park upgrades lifting the wider precinct.
