Sydney Long Lunch | Panel discussion with Jamie Durie, Jennifer Macquarie & Michael Romano

The Sydney Long Lunch featured a diverse panel of industry leaders: Jamie Durie (Durie Design), Jennifer Macquarie (Fountaindale Group) and Michael Romano (Freecity). They delivered a candid discussion on the opportunities and challenges shaping Sydney’s market — from residential and mixed-use development to the role of design, placemaking and lifestyle-led projects in driving the city’s future.

Internationally recognised designer and television personality, Jamie brings a unique perspective on the intersection of design, placemaking, and sustainability. His approach to urban projects blends creativity with community impact.

Jennifer leads Fountain dale Group with a focus on high-quality residential and mixed-use developments across Sydney. She will bring sharp insights on navigating planning, funding, and delivery in the current market.

Michael Romano is Executive Director of Development, with over 25 years of experience in site acquisition, development management and project financing, including leading residential and mixed-use developments valued up to $2bn. At Freecity, Michael continues to drive value creation and positive community impact, focusing on vibrant, sustainable urban precincts and luxury residential and retail developments.

Jamie Durie (Principal, Durie Design), Jennifer Macquarie (Director, Fountaindale Group) and Michael Romano (Executive Director of Development, Freecity) sit down with Adam Di Marco (Founder & Chief Executive Officer, The Urban Developer) for a panel discussion.
