Buildings, Shops and Tenants
A number of shopping centres and arcades front the Mall, including Westfield Sydney, Strand Arcade, Mid City Centre, Glasshouse and Sydney Arcade. In 2005 Westfield took over management of the majority of retail space in the mall through their acquisition of Sydney Central Plaza, Imperial Arcade, and management rights on Skygarden. Westfield promptly amalgamated the four properties into Westfield Sydney. Stage one of Westfield Sydney opened on Thursday October 28, 2010 with over 130 flagship fashion, food and lifestyle stores. When stage two opens in 2011, Westfield Sydney will be home to over 330 flagship fashion, food and lifestyle stores across nine floors (when including the former Sydney Central Plaza). Flagship stores with frontages to Pitt Street Mall include;
- Esprit - 3 storey 1412 sq m flagship
- Guess - 2 storey 576 sq m flagship
- Sportsgirl - 488 sq m flagship
- Cue
- Tag Heuer

- Nespresso - 2 storey 300 sq m flagship

Famous quotes containing the word shops:
“Now in contiguous drops the flood comes down,
Threat’ning with deluge this devoted town.
To shops in crowds the daggled females fly,
Pretend to cheapen goods, but nothing buy.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
