Norwest wins global award
“The Norwest Business Park in Sydney’s Hills District, jointly owned by FKP and Mulpha Australia, was the runner-up in the Master Plan category at the International Real Estate Federation FIABCI Prix D’Excellence Awards for 2007. Accepting the award in Barcelona, Norwest Land’s General manager, Peter Gray, said the global recognition was a testament to the estate’s success. Over the past 15 years it has become home to 450 businesses, 25,000 employees and 4,700 residents.
Past FlABCI award winners include Millennium Park in the US, the HansaBanka Headquarters in Latvia and Southbank in Brisbane.”
'Far from being a mere beauty contest, each development was evaluated by an international panel of expert industry professionals, with respect to criteria such as design, construction, financial viability, marketing strategy, facilities management, impact on the environment and benefit to the community – a global award in all senses of the word.'
Capital Corporation has risen to prominence as a major contributor to the development of Norwest Business Park in Baulkham Hills. Capital Corporation have completed over 25 major projects including the $85 million Norwest Central, renowned as one of Sydney’s most exciting commercial projects.
