A group of companies working together to deliver mixed-use apartment hotels Australia-wide, from the first design decision through to settlement.
Central Group Australasia (CGA) is a group of companies that work together to deliver mixed-use apartment hotels across Australia. The companies were established by Sid Knell, CEO, in 1989, and have since grown to meet the demands of both Australian and international markets.
That long-term commitment to landlords, investors and owner-occupiers comes from handling every stage in-house: design and development, construction, management, and settlement.
CGA also supports the operations of Central Apartment Group, which manages and operates apartment-style hotels throughout the country.
