Doma Group named property industry’s Business of the YearA second-generation Canberra construction company with an innovative approach to development has been named the Property Council of Australia’s 2015 ACT Business of the Year. Doma Group, led by Managing Director Jure Domazet, was presented with the hotly-contested award, sponsored by GHD, at the annual ACT awards night and gala ball at Parliament House on Friday 7 August. “Doma Group may be best known for creating the exciting Realm precinct in Barton. But the talented and committed team has also delivered an impressive array of building projects around Canberra, and has developed an innovative approach to hotel design that is capturing international attention,” Ms Carter says. Doma Group was established by Ivan Domazet in 1974. Initially focused on residential construction, Doma Group has grown rapidly and is now recognised as one of the largest multi-unit development and construction companies in the ACT. A significant participant in the Barton, Civic and Woden commercial property markets, Doma Group is also the largest private hotelier in the ACT. Doma’s latest hotel offering, ‘Little National’ in Barton is expected to open in September. “This ‘affordable luxury’ hotel, which will target public servants and fly-in fly-out parliamentary staff with its uncompromising but compact offering, is being watched with intense interest by international hotel operators and owners,” Ms Carter says. Carter says Doma Group has taken its expertise, passion and know-how interstate, and is currently working on offices and residential projects in Newcastle, and is building a second ‘Little National’ hotel on Brisbane’s Southbank. “The judges felt Doma Group deserved public recognition for being an inspiring example of Canberra’s entrepreneurial spirit. “We applaud this exceptional example of a local company committed to building a world-class capital city, and growing jobs and opportunities for the people of Canberra. All Canberrans can be proud of the team behind Doma Group,” Ms Carter concludes. Media contact: Catherine Carter| M 0412 330 079| P 02 6248 6902
