- Australian property firm Lendlease LLC.AX said on Thursday it would sell its remaining 25.1% stake in the Keyton Retirement Living Trust to co-investor Aware Super for A$525 million ($361.62 million).


Here are some details:

  • Net proceeds will be used to reduce group debt, the firm said.

  • Shares of Lendlease were up 5.2% at A$3.06, heading for their best session since June 11 if current gains held.

  • The Keyton Retirement Living Trust is one of Australia's leading retirement living platforms.

  • Including the Keyton sale, the company said it has completed about A$3.4 billion of capital recycling initiatives.

  • The transaction is in line with Lendlease's first-half 2026 book value.

  • It is subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals, with completion targeted in the first half of 2027.
