Darling Square

A vibrant district that’s only a few minutes’ walk from the world’s most beautiful harbour, with world-class dining, laneway bars, and major education and cultural institutions.

There are many great parts that make up Darling Square – from retail to residences, and all the little things in between.

Steam Mill Lane
Always-on and larger-than-life, this little laneway punches above its weight with a mix of emerging fashion and lifestyle retailers, and is also the new home of some of Sydney’s best-known and loved food concepts. Get the lowdown on what you can find at Steam Mill Lane.

Little Hay Street (coming soon)
Opening in 2019, linking Darling Square and Chinatown, you'll find little Hay Street. Here, cafes spill onto the footpath and retail stores promise interesting finds in unlikely places. Open ‘til late, this is the place to go when you’re feeling like an after dark nibble, too.

The Exchange (coming soon)
Taking prime position at Darling Square will be The Exchange, a civic space to meet the city’s needs as much as it’s ambitions. Upon completion, The Exchange will feature a state of the art City of Sydney library, a new childcare facility, a ground floor market food hall, mezzanine restaurant, and rooftop restaurant and bar with sweeping views of Sydney’s skyline.
