Our history
Lendlease was born out of a vision to create a company that could successfully combine the disciplines of construction, development, and investment.
Dick Dusseldorp's vision started in 1957 with 35 tradesmen and £10,000. That same vision has kept our company moving forward for over 60 years and helped us achieve a $121 billion development pipeline.
