Last Saturday, Golden Age proudly took part as the title sponsor of the Asian Business Association of Whitehorse (ABAW) Chinese New Year Festival, joining thousands of attendees in celebrating the 2025 Lunar New Year in Box Hill. With The Hon. Anthony Albanese MP, The Hon. Peter Dutton MP, and Chinese Ambassador Xiao Qian in attendance, the event was a powerful tribute to Australia’s multicultural identity and the invaluable role the Chinese Australian community plays in shaping the nation’s cultural and economic landscape.

The festival transformed Box Hill into a vibrant cultural hub, filled with dazzling performances, traditional lion dances, and a spectacular fireworks display that lit up the night sky.

As the crowd gathered to celebrate, it was clear that this event was more than just a festival—it was a testament to the unity, diversity, and progress that defines both Box Hill and Australia’s multicultural community.

Golden Age Managing Director Jeff Xu took the stage to reflect on a decade of support for the festival and the broader community.

“At Golden Age, we don’t just build—we embrace cultural diversity and shape future communities,” Jeff shared. “Since becoming the title sponsor in 2016, we have remained committed to supporting Box Hill’s cultural celebrations and local initiatives, including the ABAW Mid-Autumn Festival and Box Hill United Football Club.”

Throughout the event, Jeff Xu engaged with key leaders, exchanging insights on community development, business, and the future of Box Hill. Leaders acknowledged Golden Age’s contributions to Box Hill’s transformation, from landmark developments to cultural and business initiatives that continue to drive growth in the area.

For Golden Age, Box Hill is more than just a location—it’s where our journey began. Our first project, Jade Apartments, was completed in 2009, marking the start of a long-term commitment to the region. Since then, we have played a role in shaping Box Hill’s evolving skyline, delivering Sky One, one of the area’s most iconic developments.

Today, we continue this legacy with exciting new projects, including:

• SKY SQR, a 425-apartment mixed-use development with 20,000 sqm of retail space over three levels, bringing new vibrancy to Box Hill.
• Wembley Hill, delivering 143 townhomes, further enhancing the area’s residential offering.

These projects are a reflection of our vision for a thriving, dynamic, and multicultural Box Hill, where community, commerce, and culture come together.
