Singapore’s Far East Organisation is planning to redevelop the Clocktower Square in Sydney’s The Rocks. 

A new, high-end 200-room hotel is proposed at 35 Harrington Street, as well as new food, beverage and retail outlets along all the street frontages to activate the precinct. 

The existing building on the site is a commercial building with offices and retail tenancies, built more than 20 years ago. It comprises a two-storey retail arcade, 6-storey office building and the 61-room Rendezvous Hotel. 

Clocktower is the highest point in The Rocks, visible from many parts of the city. 

Place Management NSW is the freehold owner of the site, with Far East Organisation a long-term leaseholder after acquiring Clocktower Square for $72m in 2013. 

The development is one of a series of hotel proposals in Sydney, with Mulpha planning a 4-star hotel on Sussex Street and operator Accor just opening the Porter House Hotel and the rebranded Mercure Sydney in Martin Place.
