Star Entertainment Group approved to build new hotel at Jupiters Gold Coast
The Queensland government has approved The Star Entertainment Group’s application to construct a new 200-metre hotel and apartment tower at Jupiters Gold Coast as part of an ongoing transformation of the iconic property.
Construction of the new 700-key complex at Broadbeach is expected to start in 2017.
“I would like to thank the Queensland government for its ongoing support as we create a world-class tourism asset that will contribute significantly to the appeal of the Gold Coast and this State,” said Matt Bekier, managing director and CEO of The Star Entertainment Group.
“Appreciation is also extended to the City of Gold Coast for the support and enthusiasm it has shown for this landmark tower development.
“We are making an enduring commitment to South East Queensland through a long-term master plan for our Gold Coast property and a $3 billion investment at Queen’s Wharf Brisbane, both involving our Hong Kong based partners Chow Tai Fook and Far East Consortium.
“The Star Entertainment Group and our partners have great confidence in the tourism outlook for Queensland. “With increasing visitation forecasts out of Asia and China, together with strong domestic tourism figures, Queensland is well-placed to capture this growth but needs enhanced tourism product to meet the demand.
“Our vision is to continue to transform Jupiters into a truly integrated resort on the Gold Coast, and help position the tourism industry as an economic driver in Queensland.”
The new tower is the first of up to five within a future development plan for Jupiters, unveiled earlier this year and detailed in an extensive campaign.
The development will be undertaken by The Star Entertainment Group in a joint venture with Chow Tai Fook and Far East Consortium.
Included in the tower construction will be an exciting new restaurant and bar concept, and a luxurious day spa.
An eighth floor recreation deck with ocean views will include a resort pool for hotel guests and residential facilities, while a range of flexible open spaces surrounded by tropical gardens will leverage the Gold Coast climate and lifestyle.
Construction is expected to begin in 2017, subject to successful apartment pre-sales, and will add to the existing building activity at Jupiters where a new 17-storey luxury hotel tower is under construction at the front of the property.
