Hoi Hup Realty has acquired Four Points by Sheraton Sydney for A$201.8 million (US$144.6 million), marking its first foray into the Australian property market.
The 309-room hotel is located in Tech Central, a major technology and innovation district in Sydney.
Opened in late 2018, the hotel has 45 suites, a bar and restaurant, a fitness centre and 270 square metres (sq m) of conference and meeting space.
It recently underwent “extensive capital expenditure works”. This includes the conversion of an under-utilised conference floor into 12 new guest rooms, as well as the renovation and repositioning of the ground floor F&B offering to “capitalise on the area’s residential density and vibrant student population”.
The property is near Central Station and several major developments in the Tech Central precinct, including Dexus and Frasers Property’s A$2.5 billion Central Place Sydney, which comprises over 140,000 sq m of office space.
Also nearby is a A$1 billion, 39-storey timber tower next to Central Station, where Australian software company Atlassian will be the anchor tenant and accommodate about 4,000 employees.
