WHAT’S ON AT ARMSTRONG

IT’S AN exciting time right now at Armstrong where developer Villawood Properties is still basking in the after-glow of winning the Best Masterplanned Community title at the UDIA Victorian awards in December.

A lot of work has gone into making Armstrong as good as it is. Now it is in the running for best Masterplanned Development in the UDIA’s National Awards for Excellence.

The UDIA, the Urban Development Institute of Australia, is the country’s peak representative body for all sectors of the urban development industry.

Villawood Properties has numerous awards, but this one is especially exciting. Armstrong is Villawood’s flagship development and to take out top award in the nation would be a great achievement. The awards will be announced March 22.
