Quest Townsville on Eyre to open in December

Quest Serviced Apartments expect to open the $25 million Quest Townsville on Eyre this December.

Leichardt Developments is developing the project, located at the corner of Eyre and Leichardt Streets.

It will be Quest's second Townsville property and their fourteenth Queensland venture.

According to Quest chief executive Zed Sanjana, the company believes Townsville has strong growth prospects, driven by the defence, mining and tourism industries and the public service.

"Townsville is the largest regional centre north of the Sunshine Coast with the population predicted to increase by more than 50% over the next two decades to almost 300,000 residents,"
said Sanjana.

"The city boasts three major natural resource refineries and a multi-cargo port, in addition to the state's largest government sector outside of Brisbane," he noted.

Quest Townsville on Eyre will have 85 studio, one bedroom and two bedroom serviced apartments. The complex will include a rooftop barbecue area, gymnasium and conference room facilities.
