New urban resort holds strong Baby Boomer appeal
SYDNEY: An urban forest and soaring arched metal fins are just two of the nods to nature in Crown Group’s soaring multi-billion inner-Sydney construction portfolio.
The Sydney-based property group’s latest addition is Mastery by Crown Group, a five-building urban resort in Waterloo which launches tomorrow.
A focal point of the development will be a “stacked forest” apartment building that provides an injection of green with a seamless vertical garden.
Hallmarks of Crown Group’s current inner city projects are not just the eye-popping architectural elements but also a strong connection to nature.
Crown Group CEO Iwan Sunito said Crown had a “riveting vision” for the Sydney inner city area to further enrich its appeal as a lifestyle destination.
“At the core of this transformation is the aim to establish and foster a new community in Waterloo, with a focus on resort-style living and a deep connection to nature,” he said.
“To achieve this monumental vision, we collaborated with a personal hero of mine, revered Japanese master Kengo Kuma on his first residential project here. We are also delighted to again be working with architect Koichi Takada.”
Located at 48 O’Dea Ave, Waterloo, Mastery by Crown Group will feature 384 luxury apartments, a retail precinct and resort-style amenities, including an infinity edge roof-top pool.
This is just one of four inner Sydney projects Crown Group is currently developing including the $575 million Infinity by Crown at Green Square and the $395 million Waterfall by Crown that will include Australia’s largest man-made waterfall, right in the heart of Sydney’s thriving Waterloo district.
Another inner-city project well under way with a strong connection to nature is Crown’s $250 million Arc project.
The first Arc stage, SKYE Suites, due to open on October 18 at 300 Kent St, offers 72 luxury serviced apartments for short stays.
A feature of the Arc by Crown Group’s twin 25-storey tower development is a pair of arched metal fins that cantilever and curve over rooftop, shaping the skyline with a gentle and organic form.
