Hansen Yuncken to deliver Skycity’s $330 million Adelaide Casino expansion

SKYCITY Entertainment Group has today announced that local building company Hansen Yuncken has been contracted to deliver the majority of works for the $330m Adelaide Casino Expansion.

Hansen Yuncken who are celebrating 100 years of operations will be responsible for the construction of Adelaide’s most prestigious development along Adelaide’s Riverbank Precinct.

The highly-anticipated Adelaide Casino Expansion will deliver a world-class entertainment precinct in South Australia offering new restaurants, bars, cafes and a luxury hotel and spa.

State Manager, Mark Rosenboom said that Hansen Yuncken has assembled an experienced and highly-qualified local project team to work alongside the SKYCITY team.

“Hansen Yuncken is very pleased to be given the opportunity to partner with SKYCITY on this iconic Adelaide development.” Mr Rosenboom said.

“This significant project will continue our long-term relationship with Adelaide Casino having undertaken the first Casino Development in 1985 including a number of subsequent upgrades over the past 30 years”.

The redevelopment will bring together up to 1000 construction professionals over the life of the project and create 800 permanent jobs on completion. This highly sophisticated and complex design will see Hansen Yuncken adopt several innovative solutions to manage the construction, logistics, program, quality and project safety. In addition, Hansen Yuncken will work predominately with local contractors and suppliers to construct and fit-out the 12-level development.

“Hansen Yuncken is managing a portfolio of major entertainment developments and upgrades nationally including the $60m Her Majesty’s Theatre Upgrade in Grote Street. Combined, we are undertaking more than $600m of works in the entertainment sector alone”.

Adelaide Casino General Manager Luke Walker said “I am looking forward to working with Hansen Yuncken to create a world-class integrated entertainment destination for domestic, interstate and international visitors.”

“The expansion of Adelaide Casino will create a significant drawcard for South Australia, helping to boost tourism and economic development across the state, and we are thrilled to be working with Hansen Yuncken, a company who share our commitment to South Australian jobs and development”.

“The South Australian tourism industry has so much to offer interstate and international visitors, and the introduction of this new facility, complete with luxury hotel accommodation, outstanding food and beverage offerings and world-class entertainment spaces will help to attract high-end visitors to the vibrant Riverbank Precinct and to the state”.
