Who is Iwan Sunito?



His early life


Iwan was born in Surabaya Central Java, a land in the Pangkalan Bun Kalimantan province on Borneo Island of Indonesia. This is where he grew up before moving to Australia in 1985 for his high school education. After high school, he enrolled in the University of New South Wales to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in architecture. After graduating with honors in 1992, he remained at the university and proceeded to pursue a Masters degree in Construction Management in 1993.


Iwan's Career

Iwan found employment in the architectural industry after he graduated with his Master’s degree. Applying the architectural knowledge gained from his studies and the knowledge of the property development market in Australia that he gained from living in Sydney, he established Joshua International Architects in 1994 in order to design and construct luxurious homes in Sydney. Two years later, his passion and desire to focus more on architectural design led him to found Crown Group Holdings, a company in property development.

Iwan and Crown Group’s business objective was to provide luxurious residences at affordable prices to the residents of Sydney. He and his colleagues in Crown Group stuck to their mission even during the global financial and housing crises. Crown’s projects are characterized by innovation and creativity. Residential units often feature high-end facilities such as movie theaters, gazebos, and 25m swimming pools. These features attract the modern buyer. By taking on large projects in order to reduce the per unit cost of development, Crown Group is able to offer these units for sale to willing buyers at affordable prices.

Under Iwan’s leadership, Crown Group has risen to great heights in property development, with an active portfolio of over 2.8 billion dollars worth of projects. It has earned several awards to its name and a large portfolio of completed residential projects in various areas in Sydney.

Life outside Of His Career

Outside of his daily activities at Crown Group, Iwan Sunito has other life goals. He is grateful to a society that has enabled him to achieve success beyond his wildest dreams, and he wants to give back to the community as a way of showing gratitude. He established the Crown Group Foundation that donates 500 dollars for every apartment sold to assist in local development projects. He has been active in fund raising for Sydney Children Hospital. He often visits his native country where he was born so that he can engage in a number of charitable activities there, such as raising funds for various orphanages. In 2006, he was chairman of the Indonesia Tsunami Corporate appeal as a result of the Asian Tsunami.

Iwan has a wife and three children. They live in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.

To the Indonesian community back at home as well as in Australia, Iwan is a wonderful source of inspiration. He has succeeded in an industry that is usually reserved for giants in the financial world.
