Singapore-headquartered Centurion has begun construction of a seven-storey, 302-room boutique hotel in Port Hedland’s West End, Western Australia.
The hotel is being built on Anderson Street. DMG Architects designed the project, while Metrocon is handling the construction contract.

The development will combine conventional construction methods with modular manufacturing. SIBS in Malaysia will produce the modular room levels.
Construction is expected to support around 580 jobs. The hotel is due for completion in late 2027.
The completed property will include a restaurant, bar, dry mess, gym, pool, conference facilities, and pre-function space. Centurion will own and operate the hotel.
The project will serve corporate travellers, executives, resource sector project crews, shutdown workers, and general visitors requiring short-stay lodging.
Centurion Corporation Planning and Development head Anthony Bolger said: “Port Hedland is a town that keeps the Pilbara moving, and visitors to the town deserves accommodation that matches the import economic contribution the location delivers.
“The turning of the sod celebration today is a tangible step in our commitment to this region. We’re proud to be building alongside the local community, and we look forward to delivering a hotel that supports the town’s growth for many years to come.”
The project will become Centurion’s third accommodation asset in the Pilbara.
Centurion established its presence in Western Australia’s key worker housing sector in April by agreeing to purchase Velocity Village and Velocity Motel & Bistro in Karratha.
The asset comprises a 93-room worker facility providing 186 beds alongside a 135-room executive-style motel. The transaction was finalised in October.
Bolger added: “Our Karratha and South Hedland acquisitions form part of a growing platform.
“This hotel is a natural next step, bringing our experience in purpose-built accommodation into the short stay market this region needs.
“We will keep looking for opportunities that serve the people who live and work in the Pilbara.”
Centurion also owns and operates purpose-built worker and student accommodation in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, the UK, and China.
