The Merewether Street East site and Darby Plaza site form two contiguous sites offered for sale separately or as an amalgamated parcel.

The Darby Plaza site has the potential to deliver a landmark mixed-use development, being located at the intersection of Hunter Street and Darby Street and in close proximity to Newcastle harbour. The site is located adjacent to a public plaza, providing a strategic link between Hunter Street and the foreshore. The site has frontage to Hunter Street and the future plaza, as well as rear vehicular access to Argyle Street. The location of the site as a termination to Darby Street calls for an exceptional architectural design outcome, with significant place making opportunities through enhanced open space and pedestrian connections between the city and the harbour.
