THE BRIEF

Find the site, win the approvals and land a world-class brand flagship on George Street.

Dyson's vision was its first standalone Demo store in Australia: a flagship joining a heritage-listed building to a striking modern triple-height glass box, on one of Sydney's most prominent retail corridors.

We secured, negotiated and executed the flagship end to end: site identification, lease negotiation, Agreement for Lease management, authority approval strategy, and advisory through fitout construction, keeping the project on track from concept to opening.

WHAT MADE IT HARD
01

Heritage meets glass

A heritage-listed building and a new triple-height glass box had to come together as one store, within heritage constraints.

02

Approvals as the critical path

Complex site conditions and authority approvals set the pace. The strategy for getting them had to be right from the start.

03

Two years and counting

A long-lead flagship with a highly specific fitout brief. Holding momentum for more than two years was the job.
