A quote from Harry that supports this …
“China has more than 1 billion people,” he said. “And they love Australia. I think they love Australia as much as we love Australia. So there will always be enough of them that will buy.”

MERITON集团最新力作—CHATSWOOD TOWERS
昨晚，悉尼委员会名誉主席Lucy Hughes Turnbull女士，为Meriton集团在Chatswood商业区的两座建筑Centrium隆重揭幕。
Hughes Turnbull女士与Meriton集团的创始人Harry Triguboff先生，及150余人参与了隆重的揭幕仪式，其中包括各级政府官员、议会议员及媒体工作者。
Chatswood源名于前Willoughby市长Richard Harnett的夫人Charlotte Harnett。人们亲切地称呼她为“Chattie”，而wood则源自该地区繁茂的树木。但何时由“Chattie‘s Wood”更名为Chatswood则无人知晓。
如今的Chatswood已发展成为了悉尼北区汇集商业、购物和居住的大型城镇，拥有大型购物中心，优质美食餐厅和便捷的交通设施。 Centrium的建成不仅能够让居住在此的住户尽享便捷，更可欣赏到无与伦比的悉尼市全景。
Triguboff先生宣布将暂不出售这两座建筑，其中一座将作为Meriton旗下的酒店式公寓使用，而另一座建筑将用于长期出租。Meriton将为Chatswood商业区提供更多的租赁选择。
“如果我们发现了市场上空缺，我们就会及时地将其填补上，”Triguboff先生说道。
“如果我们看到这里需要大量的公寓用于租赁，我们就会保留这些公寓，用以缓解该地区房屋租赁市场的紧缺”。
“我对Chatswood可谓情有独钟，我曾在这里建造了很多公寓，但却从来没有留下过任何一套。这两座建筑将成为这里的新地标，所以我才想在这里保留一小块区域。”
此前，坊间曾有一些评论认为Triguboff先生之所以会选择保留一些公寓，是因为他认为房地产市场将变得不可预期。
“这完全是胡说八道，”Triguboff先生说道。
“Chatswood是非常强劲的市场。我昨天才看到，另一个地产开发商刚刚在上周末卖出了100套公寓，仅用了两天时间。”
“保留这些公寓既是我个人的意愿，也是基于市场所需做出的决定。这些公寓将缓解该地区公寓租赁供不应求的情况。”
Centrium距离Chatswood火车站仅咫尺之遥，此多用途开发项目共计价值$7亿澳元。
第一座建筑包括了337套Meriton酒店式公寓，并配有Meriton经典的度假式设施，包括：室内恒温泳池、水疗、桑拿浴室和设备齐全的健身房。这些奢华的公寓既适合商务人士，同时也适合来此度假的旅游者。
第二座建筑共由286间公寓组成，预计将在2016年年中全部租出。38层的高度可以饱览悉尼城市天际线和全景区域景观。包括1房、2房及3房等多种户型，所有公寓都将采用超大户型设计，所有住户也都可以使用度假式配套设施。
“大部分建在Chatswood的公寓都非常小”Triguboff说道。
“而我们所建造公寓则提供了更大的空间，让住户体验顶级舒适和奢华的享受。”
此项目还包括了一小块购物区，共由4间商铺组成，现已全部出租；另外，还有一间带有超大户外活动区，可容纳56名儿童的儿童看护中心；以及为Willoughby市议会提供多达250个地下停车位。
至此，Meriton集团共计管理着3,612间的酒店式公寓，遍布悉尼、布里斯班和黄金海岸。

The latest masterpiece of the MERITON Group—CHATSWOOD TOWERS
Last night, Ms. Lucy Hughes Turnbull, Honorary Chairman of the Sydney Commission, unveiled the Centrium of Meriton Group’s two buildings in the Chatswood business district.
Ms. Hughes Turnbull and the founder of Meriton Group, Mr. Harry Triguboff, and more than 150 people participated in the grand opening ceremony, including government officials at all levels, members of parliament and media workers.
Chatswood is named after Charlotte Harnett, the wife of Richard Harnett, the mayor of Willoughby. People call her “Chattie” affectionately, and wood is derived from the lush trees in the area. But it is unknown when “Chattie’s Wood” will be renamed Chatswood.
Today Chatswood has developed into a large town in Sydney’s north that brings together business, shopping and living, with large shopping malls, quality gourmet restaurants and convenient transportation facilities. The completion of Centrium will not only allow residents living here to enjoy convenience, but also enjoy unparalleled panoramic views of Sydney city.
Mr. Triguboff announced that the two buildings will not be sold for the time being, one of which will be used as a serviced apartment under Meriton and the other will be used for long-term rental. Meriton will provide more rental options for the Chatswood business district.
“If we find a vacancy in the market, we will fill it in time,” Mr Triguboff said.
“If we see a large number of apartments for rental here, we will keep these apartments to alleviate the shortage of the housing rental market in the region.”
“I have a soft spot for Chatswood. I have built a lot of apartments here, but I have never left any. The two buildings will become new landmarks here, so I want to keep a small one here. Block area. “
Earlier, there were some comments in the market that Mr Triguboff chose to keep some apartments because he thought the real estate market would become unpredictable.
“It’s all nonsense,” Mr Triguboff said.
“Chatswood is a very strong market. I only saw yesterday that another property developer just sold 100 apartments last weekend in just two days.”
“Keeping these apartments is both my personal will and a decision based on market needs. These apartments will alleviate the shortage of apartment rentals in the area.”
Just a stone’s throw from Chatswood Railway Station, Centrium is a multi-use development valued at $ 700 million.
The first building includes 337 Meriton serviced apartments and is equipped with Meriton’s classic resort-style facilities, including: indoor heated pool, spa, sauna and fully equipped gym. These luxurious apartments are suitable for both business people and tourists.
The second building consists of a total of 286 apartments and is expected to be fully leased by mid-2016. The 38-storey tower offers panoramic views of the Sydney city skyline and panoramic area. Including 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units, all apartments will be designed with super-large units, and all residents can also use resort-type facilities.
“Most of the apartments built in Chatswood are very small,” Triguboff said.
“And the apartments we build provide more space for residents to experience top comfort and luxury.”
This project also includes a small shopping area consisting of 4 shops, all of which are now rented out; a child care center with an oversized outdoor activity area that can accommodate 56 children; and Willoughby City Council Provides up to 250 underground parking spaces.
To date, the Meriton Group has managed a total of 3,612 serviced apartments across Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
