Did you know that early plans for the Hoyts Cinema Centre (now incorporated into Event Cinemas) in George Street had plans for a highrise tower rising above it?
Sydney City Council approved plans in 1969 for a 44-level hotel tower to rise on the site of the Trocadero. In the podium, a five-screen cinema complex would be built as part of the development.

The Trocadero was closed in 1971. Next week, I will look at a second proposal for the site.
