When the new Sydney Fish Market flung open its doors for the first time on Monday morning, one regular clientele was notably absent. There were no seagulls. And, by extension, no poo. I've been waiting 50 years for this, one man carrying several shopping bags told me as he exited the shiny new building. I couldn't bring friends here from Europe to sit out there [at the old market] with the birds and the shit.

Set to open at last on January 19th, 2026, the 3XN Architects-designed Sydney Fish Market occupies a prominent stretch of Blackwattle Bay on the Australian city's inner harbor. Planned in collaboration with BVN and Aspect Studios, and delivered by Multiplex, the project introduces a purpose-built facility that brings wholesale operations, public market areas, and waterfront access into a single system.
