Crown's Top Ryde City wins most sought after urban development prize

Crown Group’s residential development Top Ryde City Living has been awarded the Presidents Award – the most sought after prize in the urban development sector - by the Urban Development Institute of Australia NSW.

The residential development was chosen from 14 projects that took away awards at the July UDIA NSW Awards for Excellence 2013.

“Located above a shopping centre, Top Ryde City Living presnts the ideal model from urban consolidation – a model that is often aspired to but rarely achieved,” says UDIA NSW President Simon Basheer.

“Crown also overcame significant logistical challengers to create quality apartments and facilities for more than 1000 people above a fully-functioning shopping centre.

“The end result is a rare model of a typology that comfortably serves a growing Sydney,” says Basheer.

The development was named the best high-density development by UDIA NSW in July.
