The ultra-luxury five-star North One Hotel & Apartments project, valued at USD 200 million, is being developed in the beautiful coastal city of Darwin, Australia. The project is fully funded by KITA Group (Vietnam) in collaboration with Australia-based Arthur Winston Group.
As one of the largest coastal cities in northern Australia, Darwin possesses ideal conditions for economic and tourism development, making it highly attractive to investors. Recognizing these promising potential signals, the North One Hotel & Apartments ultra-luxury five-star hotel and residential project was launched with the ambition of positioning the city as a leading destination for tourism and business in the region. This is the largest private development project in Darwin over the past five years.
The project includes 131 hotel rooms, 19 hotel villas, 7 luxury villa clusters, and 46 two- to three-bedroom apartments designed with inspiration drawn from nature. On-site amenities feature modern conference facilities, an infinity pool overlooking Darwin Harbour, as well as a system of high-end bars and restaurants serving residents and guests.
An eco-friendly design approach is a key highlight of the project, introducing a new method for developing green environments in Darwin by reusing condensation water from air-conditioning systems to irrigate rooftop lawns and supply water to gardens throughout the hotel and apartment complex.
The project is 100% funded by Australia-based Arthur Winston Group and Vietnam’s KITA Group, following approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board for the acquisition of the Little Mindil site, which was previously sold by the Northern Territory Government to SkyCity Entertainment Group in 2008.
The hotel is scheduled to commence operations in 2025 and is expected to create more than 350 employment opportunities for local residents, along with 120 professional positions. It is also envisioned as a premier destination for high-end travelers who prioritize health and well-being while exploring the natural wonders of Northern Australia.
In addition, the North One Hotel & Apartments site offers convenient access and expansion potential to Cullen Bay Marina and the Mindil Beach Casino and Resort, located within the Gardens Park Golf Links precinct.
A representative of the developer shared: “We aim to establish a new hotel standard that will attract more domestic and international visitors to the Top End of Northern Australia, at a time when tourism is recovering and borders are reopening.”
