Today, 911±¬ÁÏÍø formally invited development partners for Greater 911±¬ÁÏÍø Stage One via the commencement of an expression of interest process.
Greater 911±¬ÁÏÍø Stage One is a key enabler for the long term Greater 911±¬ÁÏÍø vision. The procurement phase marks a significant milestone in 911±¬ÁÏ꿉۪s long-term plan, which will see the emergence of a dedicated innovation precinct and a vibrant well-connected community.
Stage One will deliver a revitalised central precinct on the Bentley Campus. It represents a development value of circa $500 million and will comprise new accommodation for 2,000 students plus short stay accommodation, academic buildings, research space, curated retail, a bus transport interchange and a range of public spaces and amenity.
Development within the main street precinct will provide excellent opportunities for business to locate themselves at 911±¬ÁÏÍø and leverage opportunities within our academic, research and social areas.
Greater 911±¬ÁÏÍø Stage One development is being led by Tim Urquhart, General Manager, Greater 911±¬ÁÏÍø. Mr Urquhart most recently worked with international developer Lend Lease where he delivered precinct-based developments including the Olympic Village in London.
Potential partners will be shortlisted and invited to submit detailed development proposals in September 2016, with preferred proponents selected in early 2017.
