Comiskey Group plans 144-room hotel in $180m North Lakes precinct

Why it matters

The hotel is one part of the North Lakes Town Centre, which Spice News says has approval. The outlet describes the plan as an integrated, experience-led destination that moves away from a traditional shopping centre model.

Spice News says the precinct will combine hospitality, premium and casual dining, retail, wellness and entertainment, with landscaped public spaces. It says the design links indoor and outdoor areas.

Spice News names Bureau Proberts as architect. The $180m figure appears in the outlet’s headline only, and the article body gives no cost breakdown.

Director Rob Comiskey told the outlet: “There isn’t currently a destination of this scale or this calibre in the area bringing all these experiences together.”

Moreton Bay mayor Peter Flannery is also quoted by the outlet, describing the City of Moreton Bay as a genuine hotspot for hotel and hospitality investment. Mr Comiskey also said the precinct would be something genuinely different for North Lakes and for Moreton Bay.

The numbers

Spice News says the hotel will have 144 rooms and the outlet calls it an urban resort. The precinct sits on a 1.72-hectare site.

The approved North Lakes Town Centre is 25,000 square metres, according to the outlet. A signature Comiskey Group hospitality venue of 2,000 square metres is described as the main anchor of the precinct.

The report does not give a split of the $180m between the hotel and the rest of the precinct. It also does not say how much of the 25,000 square metres is hotel floor area, retail or entertainment space.

What’s next

Spice News gives early 2027 as the construction start. The article does not state a completion date or an opening date.

Spice News describes the hotel as an urban resort and the wider precinct as a day-to-night destination. It describes the architecture as contemporary, with strong links between indoor and outdoor spaces, and says the landscaped public spaces form part of the plan.

The article does not name a hotel operator or say how the $180m is funded. It does not give a completion date, and it does not say how the 144 rooms will be positioned or priced. Construction timing is the only schedule point the outlet states, and it is described as early 2027.
