“Everything is looking good at Cranbourne, the construction is going really well and our first tranche of villas will be ready by the end of the year,” Stewart said.
“That hopefully will be the kickstart and we will continue to rollout the villas out over the next bunch of years.
“Also, we are going to develop that pipeline.”
Summerset has approval to build a village in Chirnside Park, 38km northeast of Melbourne’s CBD, and has a total of seven sites.
Summerset’s pipeline will build more than 2,140 units for around 2,500 residents.
