Lendlease nets £148m overhaul of Australian Open home

摘要

Lendlease has been chosen to carry out the £148m redevelopment of Melbourne Park - the home of the Australian Open tennis championships. The A$272m (£148m) project is the third phase of a A$972m (£529m) transformation of the sporting precinct, which guarantees the Australian Open will remain in Melbourne until at least 2036. The scheme includes construction of a 5,000-seat multipurpose sunken show-court arena, a function and media centre that includes a 1,000-seat function room, pre-event spaces, interview rooms, a 200-seat auditorium and broadcast studios and two new match courts.
