Sydney-based developer Lendlease has secured 1,100 residential lots in the recently approved Pakenham East precinct structure plan (PSP), south-east of Melbourne.

The deal, brokered by Core Projects’ Kane Malcomson and Trent Malcomson, will see an 83-hectare cattle farm transformed into a new masterplanned community.

Located across three titles, the project includes an 11-hectare park with extensive waterways and is close to the future town centre.

“I am delighted to have worked with one of Australia’s leading developers, Lendlease, to broker this deal”, Kane Malcomson said. “Core Projects’ depth of understanding of Melbourne’s South-Eastern growth corridors has helped facilitate a mutually beneficial deal for both developer and landowner and we are proud to be growing our footprint in this region.”

The approval of the new Pakenham East PSP will further fuel growth of Melbourne’s south-east, with proposed plans including future schools, parklands, child services and a range of other facilities.

Melbourne’s south-east has seen immense growth in the past two years with demand for property in the region expected to continue.
