VISION
We all make Smithfield. It’s always been that way. The original market and meeting place of the city. The start and the heart. That’s what you feel when you stand in it: 800 years of it.
Only Smithfield is big enough and bold enough and brave enough to take that all on. A world-class neighbourhood ready to take its place on the international stage.
