This large-scale project has commenced at 254 North Terrace \u2013 a site best known for the Grand Lodge of Freemasons, a historical hall and Freemasons\u2019 headquarters for nearly 100 years.<\/p>\n<p>Now, new renders of the epically scaled Keystone Adelaide project reveal a striking blend of heritage and innovation, positioning it as a world\u2011class destination for accommodation, business, events and wellness.<\/p>\n<p>Set for completion within the next two to three years, the project is the result of extensive planning and research, alongside a strong commitment to preserving the State Heritage\u2011listed Grand Lodge of Freemasons. Rather than replacing the historic structure, current plans focus on its adaptive re\u2011use, intricately revitalising the interior while protecting its defining century-old architectural features.<\/p>\n<p>Lead Keystone consultant and project chair Michael Baragwanath highlights the balance between preservation and long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to preserve as much of the heritage as possible while also making sure we\u2019ve got an economically viable project\u2026 something sustainable for the next century.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That vision extends to opening the building to the public in new ways. Under recently lodged plans, key spaces such as the Hall of Fame, grand staircase, parquetry flooring and ceremonial lodge rooms will be carefully retained. The Hall of Fame itself is set to become a hotel arrival space, showcasing its historic features.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Keystone2-1000x563.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697384 webpexpress-processed\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The shared vision and confidence of the project\u2019s architects was key, from the outset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe took the architects and visited more than 150 hotels around the world, in Australia, Singapore, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, the US, including Hawaii, New York, Washington, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Then, England and Scotland, and one of our staff went across to Italy as well\u201d, Baragwanath explains.<\/p>\n<p>Embracing the past proved key, during this research phase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things that we found consistently was that the hotels that had heritage fully embrace it\u2026 so we reworked the plan to make the heritage framework the centrepiece.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This philosophy is reflected in the design plan, with materials like stone and timber paired with colours inspired by South Australia\u2019s flora and fauna. For the architects, the project has offered a rare opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a dream job because they get to include Freemason design elements that also have second meanings in the building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the heritage building, the broader Keystone Tower development will introduce a 37\u2011storey mixed\u2011use tower featuring a Westin hotel, private residences, hospitality venues, conference facilities, a business lounge and a wellness retreat, which will feature ornate interconnectivity to accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>The wellness facilities are set to be a key drawcard, according to Mr Baragwanath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will mean those who may usually head out of state for a restorative spa weekend away can access that experience right here in Adelaide\u2019s CBD.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A planned grand ballroom with sweeping city views and extensive balconies further cements its future status as a landmark destination.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Keystone3-1000x563.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697385 webpexpress-processed\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Grand Secretary of Freemasons SA and NT, Boyd Sparrow, calls this \u201ca landmark project for North Terrace and for Adelaide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With construction already underway, the Keystone project is poised to transform North Terrace, bringing together heritage, tourism and modern living while ensuring the Grand Lodge remains a meaningful part of our city\u2019s future.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keystoneadelaide.com.au\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Share Tweet Share Share Email Photographs provided by Walter Brooke The sky is not the limit for this&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":728290,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[449,458,459,64,63,460,134,952,352684],"class_list":["post-728289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-featured","tag-grand-lodge-of-freemasons"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=728289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/728290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=728289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=728289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
