It is presently under redevelopment, and upon completion will include Marriot International hotel, seven retail spaces, state government office building[1][2] and plaza.
From the announcement of the project, heritage concerns were raised by a number of groups, including the Art Deco and Modernism Society of Australia[6] and Save 10 Murray, who wished to conserve 10 Murray St, a modernist/brutalist office building, and the art deco Government Printing Office.
[9] Further plans to demolish the art deco former Printing Office were overturned in 2012 by the Supreme Court, leading to its integration into hotel projects.
[10] Construction began in 2013, but the site was formally transferred from the Tasmanian state government to CITTA for the price of $8.1 million in 2014.
[13] In 2016, a case was filed with Equal Opportunity Tasmania about the lack of a disability accessible lift on the north-east entrance to the site.
[17] Last minute alterations to add an additional floor to the Marriot hotel were approved by Hobart City Council against the advice of planning officers in 2019.
