The proposal will see the current Shelbourne Hotel, built in 1902, reconfigured into apartments above a mixed-use ground floor.
The heritage facade will be retained and repaired, and the ground floor will adopt an Open House approach that supports day-to-night activation.
The redevelopment has the potential to re-establish the Hotel’s relationship and connections with the street and wider public domain.
It will reactivate the immediate area in a manner that compliments the future Cockle Bay redevelopment, celebrates the site’s heritage and creates a slender gateway tower addition that will contribute to the architectural diversity within the CBD skyline.
