Glasshouse is a 25 floor office complex with retail on the floors below. Its tenants include Sydney's largest H&M store and Platypus Shoes on multiple levels with about 5,000 square metres retail area.[2][3] Access to the retail levels is from Pitt Street Mall, King Street, Westfield Sydney and a skybridge from MLC Centre.

History

Originally known as "Glasshouse on the Mall" the shopping centre featured a number of specialty stores on four floors and a food court on the ground floor.

Redevelopment

In 2014, Stockland and Investa Commercial Property Fund, drew up plans for a $30 million redevelopment with H&M as the anchor tenant. As part of the redevelopment, the historic facade of the building that was retained, but the entire interior of what was an L-shaped arcade between King and Pitt Streets was demolished and transformed.[4]

H&M opened its store on 31 October 2015 followed by the opening of Zara Home in December 2015.[5][6][7]
