New Sydney Fish Market Opens at Blackwattle Bay

The 35,000-square-metre market at the head of Blackwattle Bay opened its doors at 7am, replacing the 1966 shed two kilometres away in Pyrmont and roughly doubling retail space across more than 40 food and seafood operators. Designed by Danish architects 3XN/GXN with BVN and Aspect Studios and built by Multiplex, it adds over 6,000 square metres of public open space on the harbour foreshore.

"The highly anticipated new Sydney Fish Market officially opened its doors today, Monday 19 January 2026", a milestone in the NSW Government's urban renewal of Blackwattle Bay^[1]
It was designed by Danish architects 3XN/GXN in collaboration with BVN and Aspect Studios, and built by Multiplex^[1]
The site has more than 6,000sqm of public open space and double the retail space of the former Pyrmont site, with over 40 food and retail operators from casual fish and chips to premium dining^[1]
The market is expected to attract more than 6 million local and international visitors each year^[1]
Moving the market to the head of Blackwattle Bay allows a waterfront promenade completing the continuous 15km Sydney foreshore walk from Rozelle Bay to Woolloomooloo^[1]
Infrastructure NSW says the building "has already been recognised as Sydney's third major landmark, joining the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge", and is the first significant step in turning the precinct into a public destination^[1]
The announcement gives no 7am opening time, no 35,000-square-metre floor area and no 1966 date or two-kilometre distance for the old Pyrmont shed, all of which the pin adds^[1]

London's city museum reopens on 28 November 2026 under a new name and in a new home: the derelict General Market beside Smithfield's meat halls, a Victorian market building left empty for decades and now rebuilt around its own ironwork and glazed dome. The move ends the institution's run at London Wall, where it had been hemmed in by a roundabout and reached by a walkway, and puts it at street level in a market that has traded on the site since the twelfth century.
