The seven-story building helps animate the pedestrian-focused area and includes both retail and civic spaces.

The last two levels, which are leased by Commonwealth Bank of Australia, are used for child care.

The building is just one part of a larger project that aims to revitalize Darling Harbor.

And as a focal point for the community, The Exchange is sure to attract residents and visitors alike.

The Exchange in Sydney’s Darling Square is Kengo Kuma’s first piece of architecture in Australia.

The mixed-use building contains retail spaces, restaurants, a library, and a child care center.
