CAPITAL Alliance has awarded Icon to build its $250 million mixed-use The Docklands project, which will include the first Marriott to be built in Australia in 20 years.
Designed by DKO Architecture, the 17-level development will include 200-room Marriott Docklands hotel and 100 apartments. It will also feature a 28-metre wet edge resort-style rooftop infinity pool and an adjoining bar, ground-level bar, restaurant and laneway cafe – all open to guests, residents and the community.
The development was awarded to Icon recently via $110 million competitive tender.
Icon is the result of the recent merger of Icon Co and Cockram Australia to form one of Australia’s largest construction companies under parent company Kajima Corporation, with The Docklands project marking the company’s first major project delivered under the consolidated entity.
Capital Alliance founder and chief executive, Mohan Du, said the Marriott Docklands was an exciting landmark for the precinct and he was optimistic about what the project would offer future residents and guests.
“It’s been a long time coming for this project, so we’re tremendously excited in moving forward to commencing construction shortly and delivering the Docklands Residences and the first Marriott to be built in Australia in 20 years,” Du said.
Michael Moss, AsheMorgan principal and owner of The District Docklands said he was excited about the appointment of Icon.
“This marks another significant milestone in the continued evolution of the precinct. More importantly, it highlights the rapid growth and extensive development pipeline in the area, which reinforces our vision of creating a world class ‘urban village’ and underpins our long-term investment strategy in The District and the broader Docklands precinct.” Moss said.
