Dennis Family Homes acquired by Simonds Homes

31 January 2025

Recently, the Dennis family decided that the focus of the business is on land, retail and commercial development. Although it sees significant potential in the housing sector, it has made a strategic decision to divest the housing business.

The Dennis family are pleased to share that Simonds Homes has agreed to acquire Dennis Family Homes, marking a significant step in strengthening their position as one of Australia’s leading home builders. Together, they are uniting decades of experience, shared values, and a passion for delivering high-quality homes.

The Dennis family’s development operations and portfolio are extensive, and not part of the acquisition.

Residential activity currently has 12 master planned land and medium density communities across Victoria and South East Queensland, with a pipeline equating to approximately 18,000 lots.

There are six retail and commercial developments, across a gross lettable area of 100,000 square metres with 50 hectares of undeveloped commercial land, located within new and established residential communities. We have the capacity for significant growth of the business over the next decade.

The business maintains a significant and growing pipeline of development projects to come online in the short, medium and long-term. It is expected that this pipeline will be progressively developed over the next decade and beyond.
