Major land lease venture to target housing needs in Australia
MinterEllison has facilitated the creation of a strategic partnership between Stockland and Invesco Real Estate called Stockland Land Lease Partnership. This collaboration is projected to generate approximately $1 billion in gross development revenue, marking a notable development in the land lease sector.
The Stockland Land Lease Partnership is set to develop a large portfolio of land lease communities. This initiative aims to meet the needs of an aging population and address the increasing demand for affordable housing. Under this model, buyers own their homes but lease the land from an operator.
The MinterEllison team is led by corporate partner Louella Stone and real estate partner and industry leader Carla Deluca, both of who played a key role in advising on the partnership.
