One that is firmly anchored in the very best of our proud legacy, but less complex, more focused and fit for purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new Lendlease will be more easily understood by our people and customers, and transparent and predictable for securityholders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy reshaping the portfolio, concentrating on our core competencies in markets where we have proven we have the right to play, and the competitive advantage to win, the financial and operational risk profile will be lower, and we believe the quality of our earnings ultimately higher and more sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no question that the Australian business of Lendlease is market leading and unique in the breadth and strength of its integrated capability and services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoreover, the opportunities to grow remain significant with a robust project pipeline that plays to our core competitive strengths, especially in urban regeneration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur priority will be to pay down debt and efficiently return capital to securityholders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a profound change. And is based upon making some very tough but necessary decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Consigli has already bought the majority of Lendlease&#8217;s US operations<\/h3>\n<p>Sale of the Group\u2019s US East Coast construction operations was confirmed today(29 May 2024) to US construction firm, Consigli Construction Co (Consigli).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consigli.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Consigli<\/a> will acquire Lendlease\u2019s East Coast construction operations including approximately 45 current, under contract and pre construction projects. As part of the sale, the majority of Lendlease\u2019s US construction workforce will transition to Consigli.<\/p>\n<p>Lendlease CEO Tony Lombardo said \u201cToday\u2019s announcement represents another step to simplify Lendlease to create a more focussed company for securityholders. It\u2019s the culmination of more than 12 months\u2019 work refining our US construction activities to focus on the US East Coast where we have a clear competitive advantage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sale represents a great outcome for both our people, the majority of whom will move across to Consigli, and for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New South Wales based construction company Lendlease is selling its UK and US businesses and exiting international markets to focus on Australian operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":140036,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[15892],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-140035","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-lendlease"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lendlease to exit UK and consolidate business in Australian market | Planning, Building &amp;
