(Sydney, Australia)
Monday, August 4, 2014 - A Sydney-based
property developer has won a prestigious industry design award for its innovative
mixed-use development at Sydney’s new Green Square precinct in Zetland.
Crown Group was awarded Best Concept Design for its 301-303 Botany Road Zetland development at
the 20th Annual Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) NSW hosted Austral Bricks Awards for
Excellence, held at Star Casino in Sydney on Friday night.
Crown Group CEO Iwan Sunito said the prestigious UDIA NSW
Concept design award recognised the company’s dedication and hard work to create
an innovative design concept for the important site.
Designed
by Koichi Takada Architects, the building’s curved form provides a smooth
transition to the plaza and public domain spaces.
"Our
Green Square site is a unique opportunity for Crown Group to create a
world-class development with architectural significance,” Mr Sunito said.
“The
project draws on Crown Group's 18 years' experience developing residential
property in Sydney and will showcase the world's best in innovative residential
design.
“It
will be a landmark building within the new Green Square Town Centre.”
Located
at 301-303 Botany Road, a short distance from Green Square train station, Crown
Group’s project is located within the new Green Square
town centre, a major new residential, retail and cultural hub – which sits at
the heart of a broader $8 billion redevelopment of Green Square.
The
20-storey development – comprising 39,400 sqm gross floor area, a 5000 sqm
ground floor retail precinct and 416 residential units - captured the attention
of the UDIA NSW judges.

Chief Judge and urban engineer of almost 40 years Laurie Rose said Crown Group’s project will be a distinguished building
proclaiming a new town centre in Sydney.
The
striking design features two intertwined loops – a visual connection between
public and residential space.
“There
are very few distinguishing buildings which proclaim one of Sydney’s most
ambitious town centre initiatives, and while this project is still taking place
it is clear this development will do just that,” Mr Rose said.
“The
proposed form of the building is principally based on retaining solar access to
the Green Square Plaza and library, along with an internal public courtyard
which forms an open-air dining precinct.
The Awards acknowledge the
best in urban development across NSW and the ACT and winners are selected for
their standout commitment to excellence in their category.
The
Judges commended Crown Group for blending a residential building with the
enhancement of public spaces and providing the much-needed iconic structure to
create one of Sydney’s most important centres.
With construction proposed to commence in early 2015, the
development aims to deliver a vibrant building and ground-floor zone where
residents can shop, eat, play, live and relax, Crown Group CEO Iwan Sunito
said.
“The
design incorporates a unique curved form and will feature the five-star resort
style facilities for which Crown has become renowned,” Mr Sunito added.
By 2030, Green Square is expected to attract 40,000 new residents and
22,000 new workers.
