Quest Collingwood Apartment Hotel

The mixed-use commercial project by Melbourne high-end residential developer Centreland Group will be comprised of a total ten floors, eight of which will be occupied by Quest who will offer a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, guest front of house, conferencing facility for up to 80 people, business lounge and gymnasium.

There will also be an additional two levels of office space, a ground level café and two levels of basement parking within the build.

With over 16,000[1] businesses operating in Yarra primarily in the health care, professional, scientific and tech industries [2], Quest's general manager of growth and capital strategy, James Shields, say the new hotel will sustain existing demand, as well as ongoing growth outlined in The City of Yarra's Community Infrastructure Plan[3].

Centreland Group is well accustomed with the Collingwood area. The company is currently laying the finishing touches on a 78-apartment residential project, 88 Cambridge Street on 72 to 94 Cambridge Street, located directly behind the new development.

Quest's announcement follows that of parent company, The Ascott Limited, who in July last year revealed its plan to bring millennial-focussed co-living brand 'Lyf' to the suburb.

The 105-room hotel will be situated at 42 Oxford Street within Urban's C&L development.

Ascott Australia's managing director, David Mansfield, says together the two hotels will give the company a strong foothold in Melbourne's north-east, collectively catering to a wide cross section of guest segments across an accumulative 188 rooms.

Construction stage architects CHT- the same team behind Lyf - say the building will fit seamlessly into the distinctive character of Melbourne's north-east.
