A Sydney-based property developer has collected a sought-after industry accolade naming it the nation’s best outdoor project.
Crown Group’s Top Ryde City Living collected the Best Australian Outdoor Project at the 2015 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards ceremony last week.
The seven-tower, 653-apartment development features common facilities including a music room, library, media theatre as well as indoor and outdoor function areas.
The HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards commend outstanding homes, kitchens and bathrooms designed and built by Housing Industry Association (HIA) members.
Renowned for its first-class alfresco areas, Top Ryde City Living includes a 25-metre infinity pool, extensive landscaped gardens, water features, a children’s playground and barbecue zones, set among about 6,000 sqm of outdoor space.
Crown Group Project and Commercial Sales Director Roy Marcellus said that to have the recently completed project selected as the Best Outdoor Project in Australia was a prestigious honour for Crown Group.
He said: “Top Ryde City Living showcased as the Best Outdoor Project in the country is a testament to Crown Group’s signature resort-style living. The development’s stunning landscaped areas and resort-style amenities allow residents to take in the outdoors, relax, exercise or simply watch the world go by. From the sun-drenched viewing platforms with Harbour Bridge views to the infinity pool or the mature tropical gardens, Top Ryde City Living has something for everyone.”
Judged by industry professionals, the awards are a platform to highlight the talents of the nation’s top builders and designers.
When appointing the title, an HIA judge commented: “The project transports visitors from its busy city location to a peaceful Balinese-style resort.”
Winners came from state-based finalists, with awards in 21 separate categories.
More than 600 residents now occupy the resort-style development, positioned on the vantage point above Top Ryde City Shopping Centre with views to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Blue Mountains and North Shore.
Top Ryde City Living’s earlier accolades include 2014 International Property Award (IPA) Best Residential Development (Australia) award, 2013 Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) High Density Development Award, 2013 UDIA NSW President’s award and Master Builders Association Excellence in Housing award 2013.
Construction of Top Ryde City Living was completed during 2014.
