Yesterday local State and Federal MPs, Sarah Connolly and Dr Daniel Mulino, and Brimbank City Councillors Sam David and Thomas O'Reilly, joined Veriu Group co-founder Alex Thorpe, CEO Zed Sanjana and developer Martin Strode of SMA Projects in a sod-turning ceremony to commemorate the start of Veriu's latest Punthill property build at Sunshine.

Scheduled to open in late 2024, the new apartment hotel will be located adjacent to Sunshine Station, currently undergoing a major redevelopment as part of the Sunshine Precinct Masterplan. Upon completion, the landmark project will transform the Station into a transport 'superhub' linking Melbourne Airport with both the CBD and regional Victoria, making the decision to open the hotel there a logical one for Veriu Group CEO, Zed Sanjana.

While Sanjana predicts the hotel's proximity to both the CBD and the Western Business District will prove popular with corporate clientele, he also believes Punthill Sunshine will benefit from leisure travellers keen to explore Melbourne's west, with its rich cultural diversity, natural attractions and sporting events. Indeed, the new 90-apartment hotel represents an attractive accommodation option for both business and leisure travellers seeking the comforts of home, offering a mix of fully self-contained modern studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, designed to accommodate both solo and group travel. Each state-of-the-art apartment will also come with a fully equipped kitchen, desk and fast, high-quality internet, along with access to comprehensive conference and meeting facilities, secure on-site parking subject to availability, a gym and a guest laundry.

Today's announcement, following the recent opening of the Veriu Group's 40-apartment Punthill Essendon North, caps off what has been a busy first quarter for the Victorian-based company. The launch of the Group's fourteenth Victorian property and second under its upscale Veriu Brand, the 95-room Veriu Collingwood is also scheduled for this May, which will bring the total number of hotels in the Group's rapidly expanding portfolio to 21.

More announcements about the opening of new Veriu and Punthill apartment hotels at various sites are expected from the Veriu Group in the coming months.
