Archibald by ALAND named best in Asia-Pacific

Archibald by ALAND has been named the Best Mixed-Use Development in the Asia-Pacific at a glittering ceremony hosted by the International Property Awards at London’s famous Savoy hotel. Occupying a prime location in the Gosford CBD, the $375m development offers a mix of apartments, hospitality venues and a 130-room voco® hotel.

The International Property Awards celebrate the best in architecture, development, marketing, interior design and real estate. Winners are chosen by a 100-strong judging panel of respected industry leaders. 

Competition for these coveted awards is intense – each year the panel receives around 2,400 entries from 125 countries. Judging focuses on design, quality, service, innovation, originality and sustainability. 

ALAND Founder and Owner Andrew Hrsto says he is delighted that Archibald by ALAND has won such a prestigious international award.

“To achieve global recognition like this is quite amazing – and even more so because Archibald by ALAND is still under construction,” he said.

“Clearly the judges were impressed by the quality of the design, attention to detail and the sheer beauty of this development which has already been warmly embraced by the people of Gosford.”

Named after Archibald Acheson, the second Earl of Gosford, the Archibald Precinct includes 323 residential apartments, a 130-room voco® hotel and five hospitality venues, including a ground floor pub. 

Archibald by ALAND was previously named Australia’s Best Mixed-Use Development at the 2024 Asia Pacific Property Awards. 

Overlooking Brisbane Water, this project combines cutting-edge architecture, bold contemporary interiors and premium finishes, setting a new standard for apartment living on the Central Coast. 

ALAND CEO George Tadrosse says the International Property Award reflects the company’s ambition to create an iconic building for Gosford.

“I am very proud of what we have achieved at Archibald by ALAND,” he said. 

“This award is really for the entire ALAND team who have worked so diligently on the Archibald project for the past two years. They’ve done an amazing job.” 

Central Coast Council Mayor, Cr Lawrie McKinna, says ALAND fully deserves the new award, which recognizes the Archibald’s architectural excellence and its attractive mix of residential and hospitality elements.
 
“Winning this prestigious award puts Gosford on the world stage, which is very exciting as we prepare for the opening of this new precinct," Mayor McMinna said.

“I have no doubt that Archibald by ALAND is going to transform downtown Gosford, bringing locals and visitors alike back into the city centre. The award-winning development includes a pub, family-friendly eateries and a rooftop bar, the highest on the Central Coast.”

ALAND is putting the final touches to the Archibald development. Residents are expected to move into their apartments towards the middle of this year, with voco® Gosford due to open its doors sometime later. Work on the company’s second Gosford development, Amalfi by ALAND on Mann Street, is due to commence in 2026.
