Steel arches atop Sydney by Crown as Koichi Takada takes inspiration from Sydney icons

The property developer Crown Group launches Sydney by Crown this Saturday, 22 November.
 
The new $250-million tower will be built at 161 Clarence Street in the Sydney CBD.

There will be same-day launch events in Sydney, Jakarta and Singapore for apartments in the 220-apartment tower overseen by Crown Group director of sales and marketing Adam Sparkes.

Designed by Koichi Takada Architects, the 25-storey building will feature heritage-inspired lower levels transitioning to a modern glass-and-steel tower, capped with dozens of steel arches.

These are a reference to the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, forming a striking addition to Sydney’s skyline, Crown Group CEO Iwan Sunito told Property Observer.

Sydney by Crown will also be home to a collection of Crown Suites serviced apartments which draws on Crown Group’s 18 years’ experience.

Crown Group was flooded with enquiries after Sydney by Crown registrations of interest opened earlier this year.

The apartment sizes (approx) are:

Studio 44-55sqm 
1 bedroom Plus study 50-59sqm 
2 bedroom 64-76sqm 
2 bedroom Plus study 82-89sqm 
3 bedroom 94-104sqm 
Penthouse 120- 130sqm
