PROBUILD has been appointed to design and construct a four-star, 120-room hotel at QIC Global Real Estate’s Eastland shopping centre in Ringwood.
It follows the opening of Probuild’s $500 million expansion of Eastland in May.
The shopping centre features major national and international retailers and over 350 specialty brands more than across 130,000sqm. Construction on the Sage Hotel will commence shortly.
“We collaborated closely with QIC to deliver the expansion to Eastland, bringing our extensive national experience in the design and development of retail centres to maximise our client’s return and enhance the customer experience,” Probuild’s group managing director, Simon Gray said.
“The transformation of Eastland was delivered in a live operating environment. It involved the development of bespoke approaches including a secondary lattice façade and special honeycomb aluminium fins to create a lightweight but heavy-duty façade to meet the design intent of the architectural concepts. We will be incorporating similar innovative design details within the hotel construction,” Gray said.
