Hungry Mile turns to Toby's Estate in Barangaroo South tower

Lendlease's Barangaroo South has welcomed the precinct’s first retailer, Toby’s Estate in the precinct known once as the Hungry Mile.

Lendlease managing director of Barangaroo South, Andrew Wilson said more than 8.5 million construction hours had transformed the former container wharf into the makings of Sydney’s newest financial services hub and foodie destination.

“What has been achieved at Barangaroo South since the first sod was turned in October 2011 is extraordinary.

Its International Towers Sydney (ITS) will have over 23,000 office workers.

Toby’s Estate is the first of up to 90 retailers on site and is well positioned in the lobby of Tower Two.

In addition, the Barangaroo South foreshore has reopened for public access. The Hungry Mile was the name waterside workers gave to Darling Harbour East in the Depression.

The final fitout for Westpac Group, the anchor tenant of Tower Two, will continue throughout July in anticipation of the first employees joining the precinct from next month.
