A syndicate of 16 friends and associates pooled their funds, knowledge and resources to deliver the cul-de-sac named Eaglehawk.<\/p>\n<p>Villawood\u2019s expertise has grown extensively since its first development, but we still approach each relationship, partnership or joint venture with the same level of respect, passion and camaraderie.<\/p>\n<p>Following five further successful Bendigo projects in its first decade, Villawood expanded into metropolitan Melbourne in 1999. To date, Villawood boasts a portfolio of more than 50 completed residential projects.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Villawood Properties predominantly concentrates on largescale masterplanned communities which incorporate a combination of mixed-use town centres, residents\u2019 clubs, educational facilities, large display villages and the creation of high-quality parks and open spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong is Villawood\u2019s flagship in this regard, with a variety of industry awards to its credit including a prestigious Urban Development Institute of Australia masterplanned community award.<\/p>\n<p>Over 30 years, Villawood has grown to become one of the most trusted residential land developers in Australia, with a legacy innovative, community focused developments spanning the eastern seaboard.<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye out at Club Armstrong for Villawood\u2019s 30 Year book, with lots of stories of Armstrong\u2019s people and community. Plenty of familiar faces you\u2019ll recognise.<\/p>\n<p>Villawood is thrilled to share this milestone with you, humbled by the support of so many people and across the industry at large. Here\u2019s to the next 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, if you\u2019re not up with this just yet, the construction, physical elements and landscaping of Armstrong\u2019s newest park \u2013 it\u2019s in Stage 24 Park \u2013 has been completed and is open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Get on over there and enjoy all that it has to offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Villawood\u2019s birthday!
