Darling Harbour has always been one of Sydney’s most iconic destinations — a vibrant waterfront precinct filled with culture, dining, entertainment and postcard-perfect views. But in recent years, this world-famous harbour has entered a transformative new era. With the redevelopment of Harbourside and the rise of next-generation luxury residences, Darling Harbour is evolving from a tourist precinct into one of Sydney’s most desirable places to live.
The new Harbourside Residences offer a rare opportunity: modern waterfront living in the heart of a global city.
A New Chapter for Darling Harbour
Darling Harbour has undergone continuous renewal since its original redevelopment in the 1980s. Today, it stands as a dynamic urban village with:
-
World-class dining and bars
-
The ICC Sydney convention centre
-
Waterfront boardwalks and public spaces
-
Cultural attractions such as the Chinese Garden of Friendship
-
Retail, entertainment, festivals and nightlife
Its location — just steps from the CBD, Pyrmont and Barangaroo — makes it one of Sydney’s most connected and convenient harbourfront precincts.
But the most significant change has arrived with the revitalisation of the Harbourside precinct, transforming the western side of Darling Harbour into a contemporary destination for living, working and leisure.
