Pyrmont Suburb Profile

Once a slum area during the 19th century, Pyrmont has been transformed into a vibrant hub of world-class entertainment, business, and affluent living. Living in Pyrmont means being part of a community purchased by John Macarthur for a gallon of rum in 1799, now home to award-winning waterfront parks, cutting-edge architecture, and A-list venues. Designed to be explored on foot, Pyrmont has a network of cliff-top walks and stairways connecting a maze of winding streets and apartment complexes, which can be serenely quiet considering the number of people who live in the area. 

At the heart of Pyrmont is Union Square, a heritage precinct with romantic sandstone exteriors that has trendy cafés, boutique dining, and shopping. During rush hour, residents have to look twice before crossing the street as cyclists commute through Union Square to and from the neighbouring CBD. 

The wharves surrounding Jones Bay have been redeveloped into a business precinct that is home to leading brands. Servicing residents and workers are buses, light rail, and ferries which connect Pyrmont to the inner west, Central Station, and Circular Quay. Living in Pyrmont also offers reminders of bygone eras, including public art and converted industrial buildings that highlight the area’s maritime and industrial beginnings.
