Minor Hotel Group (MHG) has announced the planned expansion of its presence in Australia with the launch of two new properties in Perth, AVANI Hotel and AVANI Residences. The announcement marks AVANI’s entry into the Australian market with an investment of more than AU$110 million.
With an existing portfolio of 50 Oaks Hotels and Resorts primarily in Australia, Minor Hotel Group is strongly committed to further development and expansion throughout the nation. Foreseeing Perth as a key strategic market, the company is delighted to have been selected by the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (subject to finalisation of definitive agreements) as the developer of Lots 2 and 3A within the Perth City Link project as the result of a competitive bid process.
The Perth City Link project boasts a prime location directly adjacent to the Perth Arena within walking distance of the proposed new bus terminal and is well serviced by public transport. The redevelopment of two Lots by Minor Hotel Group will help to enhance the city centre and is a major milestone for the AU$5-billion project.
Minor Hotel Group’s planned investment in the Perth City Link introduces the AVANI brand hallmarks of essential comforts such as design for life living spaces, good honest food and all the details that matter for a fuss-free seamless stay to Perth, together with dynamic new food and beverage brands.
Lot 2 will be developed into an upscale AVANI Hotel offering more than 250 keys with a completion date scheduled for the last quarter of 2017. Lot 3A is to be developed into an AVANI Residences property, offering more than 200 keys for sale, comprising serviced one- and two-bedroom apartments.
Minor Hotel Group developed a core philosophy in harmony with the developers overall master plan of creating a lifestyle focused environment in the design of the new buildings and public spaces. Facilities will include a rooftop bar which will be accessible to the public at the top of the AVANI Hotel, in addition to a selection of alfresco bars and restaurants.
In front of the AVANI Hotel, a public space for events and for passersby to meet will be a pivotal feature, created with attractive landscaping and artwork. The pedestrian link from the Perth Arena to the Bridge and to Kings Square traverses this public space, and it will encourage people to stop, relax and admire the public artwork.
