Lend Lease Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr Steve McCann, said the selldown of Lend Lease’s co-investment was in line with the Group strategy of portfolio optimisation and to maintain co-investments in Lend Lease managed funds to align the Group’s interest with its investment partners.
