History

The old Mid City Centre, launched in 1989, had around 50 specialty stores over three levels. These included Rebel Sport and HMV as well as electronics retailer Dick Smith and chemist Priceline. The centre's main entrance was on the Pitt Street Mall and this provided access to other centres on the pedestrian mall including Westfield Centrepoint, Imperial Arcade, Skygarden, Glasshouse, Sydney Central Plaza and the Strand Arcade. It was demolished in November 2007 to make way for an office and retail development.

Redevelopment

The old Mid City Centre has been rebuilt at a cost of approximately A$70 million with an office tower crowning the new shopping centre. Stage One of the new Mid City Centre opened in March 2010 and it became home to stores such as 2 storey flagships by General Pants Co. and Witchery as well as G-Star Raw, and a range of other Australian retailers. Stage Two opened in June 2010 and re-established a pedestrian link between George Street and the Pitt Street Mall.
