Ingenia Communities begins construction on latest land lease community
The ASX-listed land lease operator has kicked off its newest development.
A sod turning ceremony on Ingenia Lifestyle Sunbury in Melbourne’s northwest was held on Thursday, 19 March.
The new project is being delivered in partnership with BuildLab, which are also currently working on Ingenia Lifestyle Springside, situated 40 minutes away in Melbourne’s north. The community will feature 166 homes, offering a mix of one, two and three-bedroom designs.
The sod turning for the first stage of Ingenia Lifestyle Sunbury also highlighted plans for the community’s clubhouse and shared facilities.
External features will include a pickleball court, potter’s shed and community garden, while internal amenities will feature a swimming pool, a gym, an expansive function hall and lounge, and a sports bar. Construction of the clubhouse will be undertaken by Harris HMC.
Ingenia Communities Head of Development, NSW and Victoria, Simon Burk, said Sunbury’s unique history played an important role in shaping the vision for the new community.
“Sunbury has long been known as a place that values creativity, connection and a strong sense of community, dating back to its famous music festivals and free-spirited culture,” he said.
“Those values align strongly with the lifestyle we aim to create at Ingenia Lifestyle Sunbury. The community will cater to downsizers seeking a modern, secure, amenity-rich way of life.
“Ingenia Lifestyle Springside has shown us just how strongly the region responds to high-quality lifestyle resorts. This community will build on that momentum, delivering even more choice, more amenity, and more opportunities for residents to live the life they want to live.”
Civil works and in-ground services for Stage 1 at Ingenia Lifestyle Sunbury are scheduled for completion by March 2026. Display homes are anticipated to be ready in Q4 2026.
Ingenia is currently selling across 13 land lease projects with prices ranging from $475,000 to over $1 million, with a development pipeline of 4,946 sites.
