The NSW Government has awarded Lendlease a $476 million contract to deliver a new metro railway station and the building above it.
Victoria Cross Station will be a landmark in the heart of the North Sydney business district – and will include retail spaces and office space across 40 floors as well as improvements to the public domain.
Victoria Cross will be delivered by Lendlease’s Building and Property businesses. The project will form part of Lendlease’s growing portfolio of transport hubs in gateway cities that leverage the company’s integrated development and construction capabilities. Lendlease is currently delivering 18 major urbanisation projects in Australia, Asia, Europe and the US.
Detailed planning for the development is expected to be lodged for approval in May 2019.
CEO of Property, Australia at Lendlease, Kylie Rampa said: “Fit-for-purpose transport infrastructure like Sydney Metro will help ensure Sydney retains its spot as Australia’s number one gateway city by creating the connections future generations will need.
“We look forward to partnering with government to deliver this important new development for Sydney’s future and feel privileged our approach that combines our development and building expertise with our global experience was chosen to deliver it.
CEO of Building, Australia at Lendlease, Dale Connor said: “The new Victoria Cross Station will transform North Sydney by providing increased transport links and new open spaces, employment and retail opportunities.
“Lendlease is delivering the global trend of transport oriented development to Sydney. This gives people greater access to places where they want to live, work and play.
“Given north west Sydney is expected to grow to twice the size of Canberra, Victoria Cross Station will create a vital link to the Sydney CBD.
