THE $3.6 billion Queen’s Wharf development moves a step closer to reality today when calls go out for key contracts for the game-changing project for Brisbane.

The latest phase of the integrated resort project, scheduled to open in 2022, includes contracts for some of the most significant components of the development.

It includes tenders linked to construction of The Rosewood Hotel, The Dorsett Hotel, and a double-tower The Star-branded hotel beneath the sky deck – all part of the integrated casino resort development.

The main construction tender will also include the option of a residential tower of about 630 apartments, signalling strong confidence in the Brisbane housing market and demand for inner-city living.

When completed, the precinct will include 50 new bars, restaurants and cafes; multiple hotel and apartments towers; an underground retail mall; thousands of car park spaces; public open space equivalent to more than 12 football fields; and world-class gaming facilities.

The Star Entertainment Group managing director Matt Bekier said today’s calls for submissions on the current tender phase was another significant step in the evolution of development.

“As the project moves through the various tender processes, the vision is coming closer to reality,” he said.

“The Queen’s Wharf development will transform Brisbane and deliver significant benefits, led by jobs, with 2000-plus during construction and 8000 once operational.”
