Triguboff’s tallest Zetland apartment tower awarded

 Meriton Apartments won the Housing Institute of Australia (HIA) NSW Apartment Complex award for 10 storeys and over at the 2014 HIA-CSR NSW Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards over the weekend.

The win was for their Zetland complex, VSQ North, which includes the tallest apartment tower in the area. The project was called “visually appealing” by the judges.

With amenities including an indoor pool, gym and sauna, as well as energy efficiency measures, the development came out at the top of the pack.

Designed by Turner architects, the Meriton development spans four buildings as well as a 27 level tower.

The complex was completed in July 2013 and currently houses 297 households and includes a child care centre and 131 bicycle spots.

Meriton’s managing director Harry Triguboff said they were proud of the achievement, and had faith in Zetland from the beginning.

“It has become a landmark building for Zetland and for Sydney itself – it is one of the first buildings you see as you drive in from the airport,” he said Triguboff.

HIA NSW executive director David Bare said that next year will be the national awards, with major winners from each state and territory’s awards progressing to compete on the Australia-wide scale.
