Our vision and history.
The Millett Family of Sunbury has a lasting connection to Rosenthal’s story dating back to 1918. Over the years, the land has been used as a successful dairy farm and an award-winning winery.
The Rosenthal Development was founded by Tom Millett, who envisioned creating an extended Sunbury community. With an importance on family living and a commitment to do right by the local community, Rosenthal has flourished into an exceptional neighbourhood.
