Grand Hotel Group (GHG), a subsidiary of Tuan Sing Holdings Ltd, has announced plans for a significant mixed-use redevelopment project in Melbourne’s prestigious Collins Street precinct.
The company has instructed Urbis Ltd to submit a Town Planning Application to the City of Melbourne for the transformation of its properties at 121-131 Collins Street and 23-25 George Parade.
The ambitious project aims to revitalise the landmark location, which currently houses the 550-room Grand Hyatt hotel and various retail spaces.
The proposed redevelopment focuses on creating a modern, luxury multi-level retail and enhanced hotel experience while preserving the site’s historic character.
Key features of the redevelopment plan include:
- A complete transformation of the podium façade from levels 4 to 9B
- Introduction of a dynamic luxury retail and food and beverage precinct
- Enhanced streetscape and increased activation along Collins Street
- Sustainable adaptive reuse of the existing structure
- Extensive refurbishment and reconfiguration of spaces
The project is designed to minimise disruption, allowing business operations for tenants and the Grand Hyatt Hotel to continue as usual throughout construction.
William Liem, Chief Executive Officer of Tuan Sing, emphasised the project’s commitment to sustainability and urban revitalisation.
“The vision for this project is to set a new benchmark for adaptive reuse in Melbourne,” Liem stated.
“We’re embracing the opportunity to extend the life of an iconic building while enriching the public realm through thoughtful design and sustainability.”
Upon completion and subject to regulatory approvals, the redeveloped site is expected to encompass approximately 84,500 square metres in total Gross Floor Area.
This transformative project represents a significant investment in Melbourne’s urban landscape, aiming to enhance the city’s renowned “Paris End” while prioritising sustainability and architectural innovation.
