Chippendale is a small inner-city suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is sandwiched between Broadway to the north and Cleveland Street to the south, Sydney Central railway station to the east and the University of Sydney to the west.

Chippendale is primarily residential, and has the lowest open space per person of any Sydney suburb, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. It is notable for being the location of the 168-year-old Carlton & United brewery, although this is now closed. There are plans to redevelop this valuable land as a large high density residential development under the name of "Balfour Park".

The historic Regent Street railway station or 'Mortuary Station' is located on the eastern side of the suburb. The small suburb depends on Broadway for shopping and services. The University of Technology, Sydney and the University of Notre Dame Australia have campuses close to the suburb.

[edit] History

Chippendale is named for William Chippendale, an early land grant holder, whose estate stretched to the present day site of Redfern railway station .
