Sydney's 10 Largest Shopping Malls in 2026 Offer Massive Retail Space Amid Strong Sales Growth |
SYDNEY — Australia's retail heart continues beating strongly in Sydney, where the 10 biggest shopping malls by gross leasable area (GLA) are delivering robust sales performance and attracting millions of visitors annually as of early 2026, even as industry-wide productivity gains and targeted redevelopments reshape the sector.
Westfield Parramatta leads the pack in New South Wales as the state's largest shopping centre, with approximately 140,070 square meters of GLA, according to updated industry compilations. The western Sydney destination houses around 500 stores, including major anchors like David Jones, Myer, Kmart, Target, Coles, Woolworths and Event Cinemas, serving a broad suburban catchment.
Macquarie Centre in Macquarie Park follows closely with about 138,500 square meters of GLA, making it one of the largest enclosed malls in the greater Sydney region. Owned through a partnership involving superannuation funds after a 2025 transaction, the centre features Myer, Big W, Kmart, Coles, Woolworths and Event Cinemas. Its convenient Metro access from Chatswood and Epping has helped sustain high foot traffic.
Westfield Warringah Mall in Brookvale ranks third among Sydney centres with roughly 132,102 square meters. The northern beaches landmark maintains an open-air feel while offering David Jones, Myer, Big W, Target and a strong mix of specialty retailers. Scentre Group has explored rezoning options that could integrate residential towers in future stages, reflecting broader trends of mixed-use development around major malls.
Westfield Bondi Junction, a premium eastern suburbs destination, comes in with approximately 126,895 square meters of GLA. Known for its luxury and fashion focus, it recorded strong sales in 2025 and ranked as the highest-performing NSW centre in national turnover lists. Recent redevelopment stages have enhanced its offering, including refreshed department store spaces.
Westfield Miranda in the south, often called Westfield Miranda, spans around 124,000 square meters. Anchored by Myer, David Jones, Big W, Kmart and Target, it serves southern Sydney residents and continues to perform solidly within Scentre Group's portfolio.
Other notable large centres include Westfield Burwood and Stockland Green Hills, both of which posted some of the highest year-on-year productivity growth (MAT per square meter) in the 2026 Big Guns........
