Pitt Street Mall

[1] Floorspace rents are the highest in Australia, in part due to other cities' shopping precincts being longer.

[4] It is one of the flagship venues of Sydney Fashion Week held in the month of May.

This was commonplace in various Australian cities at the time, in an effort to encourage "walk-in" business.

[6] Many prominent Australian businesses had flagship stores along Pitt Street, namely Sportsgirl and Angus & Robertson.

In the mid 2000s, there were attempts to make the mall a completely pedestrian thoroughfare, diverting all vans and trucks to the underground corridor from King Street to Market Street, at the southern end of the mall.
