[6] Westfield Centrepoint provided skybridge connections to two of Australia's major department stores, Myer and David Jones.
The centre featured seven levels of retail and restaurants as well as a food court known as the Skydining zone beneath a glazed roof.
Sydney Central Plaza is located inside the old Farmer and Co department store building which was built in 1874.
Approximately $930 million was invested in redeveloping Westfield Centrepoint, Skygarden, Imperial Arcade and Sydney Central Plaza.
[15] On 8 August 2016 South African Woolworths sold the David Jones menswear and food store building in Market Street to Scentre Group and Cbus Property for $360 million.
Plans for the two buyers were that Scentre Group will redevelop the retail floors to adjoin its Westfield Sydney, while Cbus will develop the air rights into apartments.
David Jones was to occupy the building until late 2019 under a lease agreement which provided a 4.5 per cent per annum rental return on the acquisition price.
[16] On 12 February 2020 David Jones closed its store on Market Street and plans for the building includes a curved 22-storey residential tower featuring 101 apartments and six levels of serviced office space around 11,500 m2.
The office space will have its own entrance but be connected to the shopping centre with a central atrium to create a vertical flow of light.
