%X In its ongoing search for a global identity, the city of Sydney, Australia, has                looked to other cities for inspiration and direction. Like many of these cities,                Sydney's Central Business District, and the former industrial areas that                surround it, are being transformed through ‘apartment’                (condominium) development. Many are marketed as ‘New York–style                lofts’ via a flurry of promotions that suggest a distinctly generic and                global form of cosmopolitan urbanism. The essay details how this recent spate of                Manhattanization rests not only on a cache of historically embedded Manhattan                imaginaries, but on localized socio–cultural moments that are part of                Sydney's particular experience of SoHo Syndrome. Tracing the pathways to                Sydney's version of the global phenomenon of loft living has enabled a                deeper understanding of the city's evolving built and cultural landscapes.
