The massive $4 billion Burswood Point redevelopment has unveiled its latest addition - a dedicated hospitality building that promises to transform Perth's dining and entertainment landscape. This exciting new component forms part of the ambitious Precinct B development, marking another significant milestone in the ongoing transformation of the Burswood peninsula.
A New Destination for Perth's Food and Beverage Scene
Property developer Sirona Capital has confirmed that the new building will be exclusively dedicated to hospitality venues, creating a vibrant new destination for both locals and visitors. The development represents a strategic shift in the project's timeline, with the hospitality component now taking priority over previously planned commercial office spaces.
According to Sirona Capital managing director Matthew McNeilly, the decision reflects current market demands and the growing appetite for premium dining experiences in Perth. "We're seeing tremendous interest from high-quality hospitality operators who want to be part of this transformative project," Mr. McNeilly stated. "By accelerating the hospitality building, we're responding to market demand while creating an immediate activation for the precinct."
Strategic Location and Design Features
The new hospitality building will occupy a prime position within the broader Burswood Point development, strategically located to maximize both river and city views. The design incorporates multiple levels of dining and entertainment spaces, with careful attention to outdoor areas and connectivity to the surrounding public spaces.
The building is specifically designed to accommodate a mix of restaurant formats, from fine dining establishments to more casual eateries and bars. Architects have focused on creating flexible spaces that can adapt to different operator needs while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic throughout the precinct.
Key features of the hospitality building include:
- Multiple levels with varying capacity restaurants
- Extensive outdoor dining areas with river views
- Integrated landscaping and public access points
- Dedicated service infrastructure for hospitality operations
- Seamless connectivity to adjacent developments and transport
Broader Burswood Point Transformation
This new hospitality building represents just one component of the comprehensive Burswood Point development, which spans multiple precincts across the 10.6-hectare site. The overall project continues to progress according to its master plan, with various elements at different stages of completion.
The broader development includes significant commercial, residential, and retail components, all designed to create a fully integrated mixed-use precinct. When complete, Burswood Point will feature office towers, residential apartments, hotel accommodations, and extensive public realm improvements.
Mr. McNeilly emphasized that the hospitality building's early delivery aligns with their strategy of creating activated spaces that benefit the entire development. "By establishing the dining and entertainment offerings early, we create momentum and energy that enhances the appeal of the entire precinct," he explained. "This approach has proven successful in other major developments around the world."
The Burswood Point project continues to attract significant attention from investors and the community alike, with its strategic location adjacent to Optus Stadium and the Perth CBD positioning it as a key destination in the city's eastern gateway. The addition of dedicated hospitality spaces further strengthens its potential as a major lifestyle and entertainment hub for Perth residents and visitors.
