Crown Group seeks out Asian buyers for Top Ryde project

Crown International Holdings Group enters the Year of the Dragon with ongoing projects that will generate apartments with an end value of more than $2 billion.

Crown has also announced plans to set up a display pavilion in the heart of Sydney’s Chinatown later this year to better meet the needs of the Chinese community and visitors to Sydney.

Crown International Holdings chief Iwan Sunito says prospective buyers or investors will be invited to relax in very comfortable surrounds while they have the opportunity to converse with one of Crown’s international and multi-lingual sales consultants, who are fluent in a variety of languages including Indonesian, Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese.

“The vibrant and dynamic display pavilion will provide locals and international visitors with detailed information about the various Crown projects, as well as being able to experience a display apartment,” Sunito says.

“Crown understands it’s important to provide all of our clients with detailed information for each of our developments and we believe it’s important to provide this service in a person’s first language wherever possible.”

Crown Group’s signature Asian-inspired designs, which create private sanctuaries for residents to call home, continue to attract buyers from all around the world.

“Our properties are designed to incorporate principles of feng shui and the architectural features display a fusion of Asian influences.

“At Top Ryde City Living for example, residents can get some quiet time at the meditation platform, sit and read a book in the beautifully landscaped gardens, swim a few laps of the pool or head to the gym for some exercise or yoga”, says Sunito.

Crown Group’s $500 million Top Ryde City Living project, one of Sydney’s largest residential property developments, is currently being pre-sold, and Crown has launched marketing initiatives in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2011, with further roll-outs in Shanghai, China and Singapore planned for 2012.

Top Ryde City Living has been pre-approved by the Australian Government’s Foreign Investment Review Board to accept non-Australian resident purchasers, so foreign investors are assured there is no approval process required or uncertainty in being allowed to purchase.

Crown offers foreign investors a 5% rental guarantee for one year.

“We have had a great response to the first release of Top Ryde Living City with approximately 90% already sold and only 26 apartments remaining for sale in stages 1 and 2, which range from $500,000 for a one-bedroom plus study with car space to $875,000 for a three-bedroom plus study and two car spaces,” Sunito says.

The next launch will be in March with the release another 135 apartments, says Kym Rogers, head of sales and marketing.
