Lendlease managing director of Barangaroo South Andrew Wilson said the retailers will bring a unique shopping dimension to the precinct.
“Barangaroo will be a lively retail precinct with everything from the smallest laneway bars to vast harbour views. We have hand-picked two of Sydney’s best retailers to join the likes of Matt Moran, Bourke Street Bakery and Campos Coffee to expand our incredible range of quality retailers,” he added.
The Shirt Bar is run by husband and wife team Justin and Louka Marmot, alongside business partner and friend Adam Hofbauer. The trio have successfully paired perfect-fitting business shirts with coffee and dark spirits since beginning their first venture in Sussex Lane four years ago.
“We have a professional clientele at Shirt Bar, and moving down to Scotch Row at Barangaroo where our Westpac friends and existing clientele will be is a great opportunity,” Justin Marmot said.
On nearby Barangaroo Avenue, barbers from the original The Barber Shop on York Street will run a small-scale operation focusing on the modern gent, with cocktail, beer and spirits accompanying select grooming services.
“Our lives are becoming increasingly demanding so our focus at Barangaroo is about creating a tranquil escape for gentlemen in the same nostalgic setting… We’re really looking forward to the next chapter of The Barber Shop at Barangaroo.” owner Mikey Enright said.
