Crown Group took out the Residential Development category award for its highly sought-after $500 million Top Ryde City Living project positioned on one of Sydney’s most spectacular vantage points.

The uniquely modern Skye by Crown in North Sydney was named winner of the Development Marketing category award in recognition of a hugely successful campaign surrounding the project’s launch in 2013.

Crown Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Paul Sathio accepted the awards alongside Development Director Tim Campbell and General Manager of Marketing and Communications Kirsty Bradley.

Crown Group competed against the industry’s best across the Asia-Pacific region to win each award.

Top Ryde City Living comprises a total of 653 apartments across seven buildings, ranging from studios to penthouses. The development features expansive common facilities including a music room, library, media theatres, indoor and outdoor function areas, a children’s playground and a pool.

The $236 million Skye by Crown comprised 242-apartments over 20 storeys boasting a top floor gym and infinity-edged rooftop pool. Designed by Japanese-Australian architect Koichi Takada Skye by Crown’s strategic marketing campaign paved the way for the company’s most successful launch to date.

More than $200 million worth of apartments at Skye by Crown have been sold since its launch last year, including penthouses sold for $3.38 million and $3.465 million.

Crown Group CEO Iwan Sunito said the international awards affirmed Crown Group as a global player.

“The International Property Awards are a world renowned mark of excellence and we are proud to be named a winner in two categories today,” Mr Sunito said.

“These awards recognise the quality and standard of Crown Group’s projects, competing against the best in the region.”

“It is a testament to the phenomenal growth Crown Group has experienced in recent years.”

Following the successful opening of an office in Jakarta, Indonesia last year, Crown Group will soon open an office in Singapore.

“Today’s announcement comes at an exciting time for Crown Group as the company expands its operations into Asia,” said Mr Sunito.

The 2014 International Property Awards, Asia-Pacific Region celebrate company achievements across all sectors of the property and real estate industry.

A winner from the Asia Pacific region, Crown Group will go on to compete against the world’s best in each category later this year.
