PORTFOLIO annual report 2009

Australian Portfolio sunland s core values of design excellence and innovation infuses and enhances every urban, residential and highrise development to create architectural destinations that inspire and reflect their surroundings. In 2008-09, Sunland s Australian residential development portfolio continued to perform well despite the tough economic conditions, a testament to the Group s enduring philosophy that good design distinguishes its product in the marketplace. Among the highlights of the year was the completion of the sell-out of the Group s entire highrise residential portfolio across Balencea, Circle on Cavill and Avalon towers, achieving total revenue of $126 million. The Group has a robust Australian housing and land pipeline with an inventory of 3,646 products across 27 projects in three States, with a combined end value of $1.95 billion. This includes two recent acquisitions on the Gold Coast of the balance of Royal Pines Resort and the Pacific Pines land development. Over the next 12 months the Group will also launch six residential projects including Cassia (QLD), Pacific Pines (QLD), Royal Pines (QLD), Sanctuary Cove (QLD), Peregian Springs (QLD) and Amytis (NSW). Two new residential commercial retail centres will commence at Bushland Beach (QLD) and Royal Pines Resort (QLD) as part of the master planned communities. In the year ahead, Sunland will be focused on replenishing its residential housing, urban development and high-rise residential divisions through strategic acquisitions in locations of high amenity and targeting market segments which continue to perform well. 1
