"Set to open on January 19, 2026, the Sydney Fish Market marks the first completed project within the broader renewal of Blackwattle Bay on Sydney's inner harbour. Designed by 3XN in collaboration with BVN and Aspect Studios, and delivered by Multiplex, the purpose-built facility replaces the former market with a contemporary structure that combines an operating wholesale fish market with retail, dining, and publicly accessible waterfront spaces."
"The roof spans approximately 20,000 square meters, including a 200-meter-long canopy assembled from 594 glulam beams and 407 prefabricated roof cassettes, forming a continuous sheltered space beneath. Within this structure, the market maintains the openness and human scale associated with historic market typologies, organising vendor stalls and operational functions within a semi-open environment that emphasises daylight, ventilation, and spatial continuity"
The Sydney Fish Market opens January 19, 2026 as the first completed project within the Blackwattle Bay renewal on Sydney's inner harbour. Designed by 3XN with BVN and Aspect Studios and delivered by Multiplex, the purpose-built facility replaces the former market with a contemporary structure combining wholesale operations, retail, dining, and public waterfront spaces. A large undulating roof canopy referencing wave forms and fish-scale patterns establishes a strong harbour-edge identity and spans approximately 20,000 square meters, including a 200-meter-long canopy assembled from glulam beams and prefabricated roof cassettes. The interior preserves market openness and human scale, organises vendor stalls in a semi-open plan that emphasises daylight, ventilation, and spatial continuity. Visual permeability allows visitors to observe wholesale processes from a safe distance, while a stepped tribune and over 6,000 square meters of public open space connect the market to the urban fabric and harbour.
