The Grounds of South Eveleigh is certainly becoming the place where culture vultures go, thanks to Mirvac’s bold reimagining of the former Australian Technology Park. The new venue is the result of a 6-year collaboration between The Grounds and Mirvac, creating guest experiences that will complement the rich heritage of The Locomotive Workshop — a site that celebrates the golden era of revolution and industrious spirit that drove Australia forward. In true The Grounds style, the vision for South Eveleigh is awe-inspiring — one that will revolutionise the way in which we connect, celebrate, and share in life’s magical moments.
Founder and Director of The Grounds, Ramzey Choker is excited about the new venture.
“We want to create something incredibly beautiful for the site and for Sydney – it’s not just a hospitality venue, it will be a space where time almost stands still,” says Choker.
From the quintessential coffee lover to the curious kid, guests will be invited to step into an immersive sensory experience like no other and peer into the world behind the curtains of the coffee cup, at The Grounds Coffee Roastery. The venue’s state-of-the-art coffee roastery will not only offer Australia’s finest cup of coffee, but engage patrons in the entire coffee-making process from bean to brew. Every little step to the art of coffee will be brought to life right before your eyes, as guests will be invited to see where it all starts in the rawest form. From raw to roast, bean to brew; the entire process will surround you.
Led by The Grounds’ passionate team of baristas, behind-the-scenes tours, coffee workshops and freshly roasted coffee beans for sale will also be available for everyone — from the everyday guest with a curiosity for coffee, to the wholesaler sourcing their favourite selections.
"It's been an amazing journey at The Grounds over the last 9 years, I never imagined that my love for coffee would lead me to travelling around the world visiting coffee farms and leading a state-of-the-art roasting facility like this. It really is something special," says Head Roaster, Nick Ferguson.
Rest assured that the party for your tastebuds does not have to stop at coffee, with options for a casual ‘classic with a twist’ breakfast or lunch available too, with eats inspired by the site's historical canteen — a hub that nourished busy workers of a golden era.
Bringing extraordinary events to life in beautiful spaces is at the heart of The Grounds; that’s why the South Eveleigh site will transform the guest experience from day to night with The Eveleigh event room. Opening in early 2022, the event space will offer a breathtaking backdrop to share in and celebrate life’s special moments. Whether it’s a love story written in the stars or a special milestone you are hosting, there is certainly something timeless and effortlessly enchanting about a venue with history. Think grand, open space created by high ceilings, adorned by the captivating light of industrial chandeliers.
Time stands still, as you are immersed in the sheer magnificence of The Eveleigh room. The ambiance of classical romance combined with the timeless beauty of this historical site creates a breathtaking backdrop for your big day or next event.
South Eveleigh Portfolio Manager, John Fairbairn eagerly awaits the unveiling in early 2022.
“The stories of South Eveleigh’s fascinating heritage are being retold in these incredible new spaces being brought to life by our visionary partners at The Grounds. We’re thrilled to welcome this new venue to South Eveleigh, and we look forward to the opening, which will bring an exceptional level of activation and excitement to the precinct,” says Fairbairn.
A venue where that distinctive Grounds beauty meets the rich history of revolution, the South Eveleigh site is set to capture the essence of experiences made memorable through sensory journeys and celebration.
