Malaysian developer set to sell 50pc stake in Melbourne’s Shangri-La
Melbourne’s glitzy Shangri-La Hotel could have a new co-owner within weeks, with Malaysian real estate developer SP Setia poised to sell half of the tower to an unlisted credit fund at a $500 million-plus valuation.
Street Talk understands sell-side advisers Deloitte and Colliers are in the process of signing a binding contract with a party who will take ownership of 50 per cent of the five-star, 60-storey hotel that the pair has shopping around as a competitor to the iconic Crown Melbourne.
