Crown Residences at One Barangaroo win Juwai award for best international hospitality branded residence
Crown Residences at Barangaroo has won Chinese Global Choice Awards from Juwai.com, the number one Chinese international property portal
The awards presentation, held in Shanghai, saw Crown Residences pick up the Best International Hospitality Branded Residence.
The presentation followed followed four months of nominations, online voting by Chinese consumers, and final selection by a panel of judges that included senior executives from Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, Noah Holdings, and other respected companies.
The Juwai Global Chinese Choice Awards (below) is the only awards program in the world to target China-centric residential developers, agencies, lenders, and other organizations.
Todd Nisbet, executive vice president of strategy and development for Crown Resorts said the fact that a project in Australia won the award shows how global real estate has become.
"We couldn’t be more excited about receiving this award, given the fact that it is voted on by the general public who are interested in real estate," Nisbet said.
"That an award has been won by a project in Australia is a testament to how truly global real estate has become for the Chinese consumer.
Crown wasn't the only Australian winner at the awards night.
Property investment firm Ironfish won the Trustworthy Overseas Property Service Provider award.
Lanny Xu, CEO of Ironfish China, said it's one of the best awards to win.
“Since 2004, we have built up our business in China and received lots of awards and are very appreciative, but none of these can be compared with today’s award from Juwai," she said.
"It is one of the best awards in the industry and we are very honoured to receive it.
"Hopefully, in the future, we will work with Juwai.com in a long-term relationship in terms of serving clients in purchasing and investing in overseas property.”
