The $25 million Quest Dandenong Central opened its doors to guests on Monday 5 December.
The 95-apartment Pellicano Group development at 2-10 Walker Street was part of the $290 million Revitalising Central Dandenong initiative.
It includes studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments, on-site parking, a conference room and a gym.
Quest CEO Zed Sanjana said Quest Central Dandenong was among several key projects now completed in central Dandenong and many more were underway.
“Dandenong Central is on a solid growth trajectory, with the revitalisation initiative anticipated to generate 5000 new jobs over the next two decades, re-establishing Dandenong as the capital of
Melbourne’s growing south-east region,” he said.
“The Revitalising Central Dandenong initiative is enhancing Dandenong’s appeal as a place to live, work and visit.”
Quest Dandenong Central franchisee Tim Cross said he was thrilled to be welcoming the site’s first guests and expected the location would particularly appeal to business travellers.
“Quest’s presence in the middle of Dandenong’s business district is extremely important as it provides a high standard of accommodation that will support the revitalisation of the area and the overall city development as it continues to expand into a destination of choice for both leisure and business travellers,” he said.
