Pitt Street is Australia's second biggest street[citation needed] located in the central business district of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Pitt St is famous for being home to the Pitt St Mall pedestrian area, which lies between Market and King streets. Pitt St Mall is the most expensive street in Australia and 7th most expensive street in the world[citation needed]. Australia's biggest retailer[citation needed], Westfield is constructing a shopping centre on Pitt St Mall, a first of its kind in an Australian CBD[citation needed]. The complex will be a high rise tower with office use above the shopping levels. The street is one way (Northbound only) from Railway Square to Pitt Street Mall and (Southbound Only) from Circular Quay to Pitt Street Mall. It runs through the entire city centre from Circular Quay in the north to Redfern south, although a substantial stretch of it was removed when the Sydney Central railway station was built. It has many different shops, especially along the Pitt Street Mall, as well as various residential and office buildings.
Trams formerly ran northbound along Pitt St, forming a loop (running southbound down Castlereagh St) between Circular Quay and Central Station. The line closed on 28 September 1957, replaced by a bus service.[1]
