Three of the country’s most senior investment bankers were drafted in to advise the property giant on its biggest reset for at least a quarter of a century.
When Steve McCann beat Dan Labbad to the chief executive gig at Lendlease in 2009, it set in motion the company’s quest to literally build a global property empire.
