Lendlease approved for asset management operations in Italy
- 25 May 2021
Lendlease Italy Sgr SpA is overseen by a local team in Milan and will act as the asset manager for two reserved funds, which contain around €450m of assets between them. Both reserved funds have investments in the Milano Santa Giulia area of the city as follows:
Further investors will be sought and they will benefit from access to a global investment platform that spans Asia, Australia, the Americas and Europe. Lendlease has relationships with approximately 150 investment partners and has funds under management of AUD$37.9bn.
Giovanni Petrella, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Lendlease Italy Sgr SpA, said: “Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 global pandemic we have received authorisation from the Italian supervisory authority, Bank of Italy, and begun the operation of our asset management company. Our goal is to provide international investors with access to world-class urban regeneration projects in Italy. An integrated business model and a focus on sustainable regeneration projects are two key features of our proposals to investors that will be developed by Lendlease Italy Sgr.”
Milan has a population of 3.3m people and has a larger share of the economy in faster-growing industries than the rest of Italy. These include financial and business services, transport, storage and ICT services. The city accounted for over 40 per cent of total Italian institutional property transactions during the last three years.
At the Milan Innovation District, a major new district for science, knowledge and innovation on the city’s former Expo site is being created by Lendlease. The project is a multi-phased, mixed-use redevelopment that is expected to include commercial, residential, retail and public realm.
At Milano Santa Giulia, Lendlease is working on a site which covers more than 110 hectares in the southeast of Milan. The mixed-use development has an estimated end value of €2.5bn and the project has the potential for up to 2,500 homes alongside a new commercial office, retail and entertainment district.
