"For example, look at what we did at Parramatta in 2012. We see the direction of the NSW government's development policy leading to the west of Sydney, which is why we decided to build a vertical village in Parramatta, the V by Crown Group, the price is very significant, "said Iwan through his written statement in Jakarta, Monday (21/05/2018).

"From the selling price at that time was Rp5, 75 billion for the apartment with type 2 bedroom, currently has reached the range of Rp11, 73 billion or an increase in price as much as 104%," added Iwan
