Vibe Darling Harbour Approved for Development

Sydney-based property developer Icon Oceania's proposed Darling Harbour hotel development has been granted approval. 

The developer paid $21.35 million for four adjacent terraces at the 319 - 325 Sussex Street site mid-last year.

WMK Architecture was selected as the winning architect from a design competition held on behalf of the developer. TFE hotels will operate the 145-room hotel as part of their Vibe Hotels brand.

“Achieving DA, particularly in less than six months, is a significant accomplishment,” WMK Design Director John Andreas said.

“We have delivered a design that has not only pleased our client and the hotel operator but is also stirring strong interest within the hotel market – all within the City of Sydney’s strict requirements.”

According to the architect, the hotel will also help to address a shortage of accommodation in the city, while the rooftop bar and pool will offer a point of difference with its sensational views to the Darling Harbour Precinct.

The tender process is in final stages with construction commencing late 2017 and targeted completion in early 2019.
