The Ribbon is a new hotel, office, retail and entertainment complex set to transform Sydney’s skyline and form an extraordinary new gateway to the western side of the city’s Central Business District.
Named for its undulating form that rises through two elevated roadways, the building's organic, flowing shape appears to peel up the surrounding roadways and manipulate them into a new structure that complements the changing landscape between the high rise city to the west and Darling Harbour to the east.
Improved visitor experience
The development will contain modern new premises for the IMAX theatre currently on-site and make the public spaces at ground level more vibrant and engaging for visitors.
It will also improve sightlines over the harbour and create pedestrian connections across Cockle Bay and from the Harbour through to Darling Quarter.
Linking city and harbour precincts
Once completed, The Ribbon will form a critical link between the city centre and the new Sydney International Convention, Exhibition and Entertainment Precinct and the Barangaroo development.
Features:
_1,800 sqm of retail space _10,000 sqm of new or enhanced public spaces _More than 400 hotel rooms _More than 140 serviced apartments.
