    Frasers Midtown

    “Midtown” at Macquarie Park in Sydney is a master planned community developed by Frasers and the NSW Land and Housing Corporation which will consist of 3,300 new homes, 2.8 hectares of open space, schools, shopping centre, cafes and restaurants. The team at Bugden Allen were engaged to manage all the developer conveyancing services using our “OPEX” platform. 100% of Stage 1 and Stage 2 sales contracts were successfully exchanged on OPEX and the average time to exchange the contracts was less than 3 business days.
