Warehouse conversions and apartments walking distance from the city centre
Pyrmont, Sydney (inner west)
Once an industrial zone bereft of almost any residential life, Pyrmont has become a high-rise apartment mecca with an emerging village hub. Some old warehouses have been converted into apartments, but generally most of the buildings are new modern townhouses or multi-storey residential blocks. Pyrmont is both an inner city and harbour suburb very popular with professionals. (More info below and to your left <<<)
