墨尔本一座耗资6亿澳元的双塔建筑项目陷入困境，其中香格里拉酒店塔楼自2023年8月由Multiplex建筑商完成建设以来，500间客房仍处于空壳状态，未进行任何装修工作1。该酒店原定于2024年开业，随后推迟至2026年，但至今已四年未取得进展1。开发商Setia (Melbourne) Development Company已申请将该酒店塔楼改建为393套公寓1。
项目搁浅的主要原因是酒店装修成本大幅上升1。开发商表示，施工成本从疫情前预算的约6000万澳元增至8000万澳元，与香格里拉集团无法就投资方式达成一致1。Setia公司的财务状况也受到影响，去年财务报告录得1440万澳元的亏损1。此前在2022年，这座空壳酒店曾以5亿澳元出售失败，相当于每个房间100万澳元1。
尽管过去六年墨尔本新增了6500间酒店客房，但业内人士仍指出对豪华酒店仍存在市场需求1。
A five-star Shangri-La hotel tower in Melbourne has remained an empty shell for four years, with its 500 guest rooms unfinished and the project now facing a fundamental change in direction.1 The developer, Setia (Melbourne) Development Company, has applied to convert the structure into 393 residential apartments, citing significant cost escalation that has stalled progress on the hospitality component.1
The hotel was originally scheduled to open in 2024, a deadline that slipped to 2026, but construction of the interior has never commenced.1 The tower forms part of a dual-tower precinct valued at A$600 million and was structurally completed by builder Multiplex in August 2023.1 According to the developer, the cost of furnishing and equipping the hotel interior has nearly doubled from a pre-pandemic budget of approximately A$60 million to A$80 million, making it financially unviable in its current form.1 The developer reported a loss of A$14.4 million in its most recent financial statement, reflecting the project's troubled status.1
The tower's commercial viability has proven elusive. In 2022, the incomplete hotel shell was offered for sale at A$500 million—equivalent to A$1 million per room—but found no buyer at that price.1 Despite the addition of 6,500 hotel rooms across Melbourne over the past six years, industry observers maintain that demand persists for luxury hotel accommodation.1
