New SilverKris Lounge Melbourne

[Xtrap2.0]

See, this is what I meant - SQ have addressed the media directly and they have announced the target opening date is in fact “late 2026” and not “September 2026”. Each to their own with the fine play on words but in my humble opinion, September isn’t quite yet “late” 2026. But we will see, they might surprise us.

Yup, September does seem like a bit of an unlikely timeline considering this is the current state of things:


I also did some digging for fun, regarding the Perth SKL refurb as that situation was by far the most comparable for what’s happening with Melbourne SKL - back then SQs target date for Perth refurb completion was “by the end of 2023”. It in fact didn’t open until February 2024, so it will be interesting for sure to see if this one actually opens by year end.
