Seafarers Place will comprise 150 residences, a 5-star hotel with 280 rooms and a 1000-seat function centre, along with a host of retail amenities.

Wharf restoration works began in February and are expected to be completed in the coming months, while crane restoration works have commenced with construction slated for mid 2019.
