Built in 1889, the Grand Central Coffee Palace on Clarence Street, in the Sydney CBD was then converted into Hotel Arcadia in 1929. It wasn't until the 1960s where 151 Clarence Street was then turned into, and remained an office building only until recently.

Now, more than just a commercial office tower, stands Barrack Place. A 23-storey brick facade with co-working spaces and ground-level laneway running through to Kent Street sets it apart from the city landscape. That laneway and it's adjoining arcade, now make-up Sydney’s most vibrant food and beverage retail hub.

The eye-catching sculptural artwork display of Barrack Place was created by the talented Amy Joy Watson with Urban Art Projects. The feature combines colour and creativity to further enhance the buzzing retail precinct at 151 Clarence Street and has already become a talking point of the new space. Don't take our word for it, come down and see for yourself at Barrack Place.
