History
The original Mid City Centre opened in 1989 and featured around 50 specialty stores over three levels. These stores included Rebel Sport, HMV,Dick Smith and Priceline.
The main entrance to Mid City Centre was on the Pitt Street Mall and this provided access to other centres on the pedestrian mall including Westfield Sydney, Imperial Arcade, Skygarden, Glasshouse, Sydney Central Plaza and the Strand Arcade.
In May 2006 Fortius Funds Management purchased the centre for $270 million and Lendlease acquired 25% stake in the centre.
In November 2007, Mid City Centre was demolished to make way for an office and retail development.
The old Mid City Centre site has been rebuilt at a cost of approximately A$70 million with an office tower known as 420 George and a new shopping centre known as MidCity. Stage one of the new Mid City Centre opened on 23 March 2010 and it became home to stores such as 2 storey flagships by General Pants Co. and Witchery as well as G-Star Raw, and a range of other Australian retailers. Stage two opened on 17 June 2010 by American fashion designer and actress Nicole Richie in a ribbon cutting ceremony. Stage two included the opening of Rebel Sport flagship store and brought the total stores to 45. It also re-established a pedestrian link between George Street and the Pitt Street Mall (two of Sydney's shopping streets).
On 27 November 2014 Japanese retailer Uniqlo opened its second Sydney store in the centre on level one.
