The deal is set to lead to the creation of new homes and the development of science and innovation hubs in the UK.

The Crown Estate, which manages a property portfolio worth 16 billion pounds ($21 billion), will now have the opportunity to invest in Lendlease’s undeveloped UK portfolio.

This joint venture has the potential to result in the construction of 26,000 new homes and the creation of 10 million square feet of workspace and labs, according to a government statement.

The gross development value of the partnership is estimated at 24 billion pounds ($32.12 billion), as stated by the government.
