Packer's Crown And Chinese Group Come Together For Queen's Wharf Bid

James Packer's Crown Resorts Limited has joined forces with a subsidiary of the international Chinese diversified property group, Greenland Holdings Group, to prepare a detailed proposal to develop the Queen’s Wharf precinct in Brisbane.

Crown will combine its experience and expertise in developing and operating large scale luxury integrated resorts with Greenland’s vast commercial and residential property development experience to form a consortium.

If successful, Crown and Greenland will jointly develop a luxury integrated resort at the Queen’s Wharf precinct, including a six-star hotel and casino.

Crown will manage the integrated resort and will have an ownership interest in that part of the precinct.
