History

Description
Historical map of the precinct, prior to the Hyatt Regency Sydney development.

As of 2016 the building that was previously located at 161 Sussex Street was demolished and made way for the Hyatt Regency Sydney/Four Point development. All that remains is a heritage marker on the driveway in the hotel forecourt.

The site forms part of the Hyatt Regency Sydney/Four Points by Sheraton Hotel development.[2] Redeveloped in 2016 by COX Architecture, the heritage-listed site was conserved and a nearby adjacent 26-storey tower was constructed that added 222 new guest rooms, 3,667 square metres (39,470 sq ft) convention centre, and commercial office space. The additions were completed in the Millennium Minimalist Modernism style.[3][4]
