A vibrant street scene at night, featuring Kensington Street in Chippendale. People are walking along a lively, well-lit street filled with outdoor dining areas and cafes. Bright lights illuminate the facades of charming heritage buildings, and there are strings of lights creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Customers are seen dining under umbrellas at outdoor tables, while pedestrians casually stroll past. The street has a mix of greenery with plants in pots, adding to the ambiance. Banners and signs are visible, contributing to the lively, energetic feel of the street.

Kensington Street fuses heritage and contemporary design, and flavours of East and West, to bring to Sydney’s centre a pulsating, vibrant lifestyle precinct.

Forged from the unyielding vision of Executive Chairman Dr Stanley Quek and exquisite craftsmanship of accoladed Tonkin Greer Architects, the historic street of the former brewery yard has reaffirmed its place on the map of Sydney’s downtown.

Industrial structures that were once vacant and hollow are now filled with life, where our tenants welcome curious visitors to eat, drink, shop, stay and discover.

Home to various restaurants, crossing culinary terrains of the world’s cuisines, Kensington Street is Sydney’s most bustling and gastronomically rich Eat Street.
