World Square


World Square is a city square and urban development in the Sydney central business district, New South Wales, Australia. It fills an entire Sydney city block, bounded by George, Liverpool, Pitt and Goulburn Streets, on what was a small hill called Brickfield Hill.
World Square features a shopping centre, hotels, office buildings and residential apartment towers. Liverpool Lane, off Liverpool Street, is part of World Square and features restaurants, cafes and take away shops. It is also the home of Southern Cross Austereo's Sydney radio stations/studios, Triple M Sydney and 2Day FM.

Buildings

The site on which World Square now stands was originally home to the Anthony Hordern & Sons department store, a six-storey building which opened in 1905. After the demolition of Hordern & Sons in 1986, the site remained undeveloped for most of the 1990s due to planning disputes. During the dispute, scenes for the 1995 film were shot on the former property of Hordern & Sons and future site of World Square. Between 1988 and 2013, the now defunct Sydney Monorail stopped at the development's 'built-in' station.
