Lend Lease today announced that Abigroup, which Lend Lease acquired as part of the Valemus transaction in March 2011, has reached agreement with Queensland Health as Managing Contractor on Stage 2 of the A$1.4 billion Queensland Children’s Hospital (QCH) in Brisbane.
The contract value to Abigroup is circa A$900 million.
The Queensland Children’s Hospital will be the primary specialist paediatric hospital for the State. Stage 1 early works commenced in January 2009.
