Tuan Sing secures permit for Melbourne CBD redevelopment

Expected returns drive higher face rents and asset valuation

Tuan Sing Holdings Limited, through wholly owned subsidiary Grand Hotel Group, announced securing the official planning permit, allowing the redevelopment of its flagship property at 121-131 Collins Street in Melbourne to proceed.

The permit follows a town planning application submitted in November 2024 for a major mixed-use development. The property, which currently houses the Grand Hyatt Hotel and retail spaces, will be transformed into a retail podium spanning over three levels and a world-class hotel, according to the press release.

The project is set to commence redevelopment works early next year and is designed to allow continuous operations for the hotel and existing tenants throughout the construction process.

Upon completion, the asset is expected to command higher face rents enhancing long-term returns for stakeholders.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
