Developers have been invited to submit designs for a new mixed-use precinct to include housing and a hotel at a landmark site in Kingston before a long-planned arts centre is built.
The ACT government will release a parcel of land in the last undeveloped area of the Kingston foreshore, for sale by design-based tender that will require interested developers to respond to plans for the arts precinct.
The 21,360-square-metre site, next to the heritage-registered Kingston Powerhouse, former transport depot and Fitters Workshop, will include up to 250 new homes and residential, hotel, hospitality, retail and commercial space, the government said.
