Here’s the latest I can share based on recent public updates:
- Westfield Sydney is undergoing a major expansion, including a new adjoining tower development in the CBD and ongoing brand openings as the precinct evolves. This project has been described as a multi-year redevelopment with milestones beginning in 2024–2025 and continuing into 2026.[3][4]
- In early 2026, reports emerged that Australian Retirement Trust (ART) agreed to take a 19.9% stake in Westfield Sydney, making ART a joint-venture partner while Scentre Group retains the majority. The deal was expected to close early 2026.[2]
- The broader Westfield Sydney expansion has featured a line-up of luxury brands and lifestyle concepts transitioning into the new spaces, with ongoing openings from mid-2025 onward.[1][4]
If you’d like, I can pull more precise dates for each milestone (opening events, brand handovers, and the ART closing date) or compile a concise timeline. I can also look up the current status of specific stores or the new tower’s completion schedule. Would you like me to dive deeper into a particular aspect or provide a short, up-to-date timeline?
