Key players: The Allens legal team advising ISPT was led by partners David McLeish and David Donnelly, and senior associate Ben van Weel, with support from associate Olivia Roslaniec, and lawyers Eugene Twomey, Tom Lawson and Kalia Laycock-Walsh.
Deal significance: Karingal Hub is situated on the Frankston-Cranbourne Road and connected to the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. Tenants include Village Cinemas, Big W, Woolworths, Coles, Aldi and 150 specialty retailers.
