Crown Group Project and Commercial Sales Director Roy Marcellus said to have the recently completed project selected as the Best Outdoor Project in Australia was a prestigious honour for Crown Group.
“Top Ryde City Living showcased as the Best Outdoor Project in the country is a testament to Crown Group’s signature resort-style living,” Mr Marcellus said.

“From the sun-drenched viewing platforms with Harbour Bridge views to the infinity pool or the mature tropical gardens, Top Ryde City Living has something for everyone,” he said.
Judged by industry professionals, the awards are a platform to showcase the talents of the nation’s top builders and designers.
