National contractor Probuild has delivered Sage Hotel in Eastland for QIC Global Real Estate (QIC). The hotel today opened, after being handed over to QIC and Hotelier Next Story Group four weeks earlier to commence preparations.

The brand new 120 room, full-service Sage Hotel Ringwood spans five floors above Eastland Shopping Centre and includes a restaurant, bar, conference and co-working facilities comprising of a boardroom, function room and a co-working space with a capacity of 80 people.

Quick Project Facts

• 120 4-star hotel rooms
• Five levels, Approx. 7,600m² NLA
• 2 lobbies to connect to the street and carpark
• Main reception floor on level 5, consisting of a bar, restaurant, lounge, coworking and conference facilities, gym and back-of-house facilities. 

The hotel was delivered under a design and construct contract for QIC, following Probuild’s completion of the $500M+ Eastland Shopping Centre Redevelopment in 2016.

“We’re incredibly proud to have delivered Victoria’s first retail destination hotel,” said Probuild’s Victorian Managing Director, Luke Stambolis.

“We’re building a number of large-scale luxury hotels around the country, including The Ritz Carlton in Melbourne and Perth and The Star Gold Coast. It’s been fantastic to combine this and our mixed-use experience with a project such as Sage Hotel Ringwood.”

Probuild drew on its unparalleled experience constructing in live environments, building the Hotel above the fully operational shopping centre, avoiding disruption to tenants and customers.

Probuild’s September handover allowed Next Story Group four weeks of preparation to ensure a smooth opening day and first-class experience for guests.
