June 2018 Quarterly Report
We are pleased to provide shareholders with an
update on our business operations since our 31
December 2017 interim balance date.
We have continued to advance our development
programme while also achieving good levels of leasing
across our investment assets.
CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
In April, Precinct announced progress on the sale
process for a 50% interest in ANZ Centre in Auckland
and an agreement to sell 10 Brandon Street in
Wellington for $10.2 million.
The half share interest in the ANZ Centre has received
very strong interest. Precinct has agreed to a period of
exclusivity for one party to complete due diligence and
enter into a binding sale and purchase agreement. At
this stage there is no binding agreement for the sale
and purchase of the property.
With several options for 10 Brandon Street having been
assessed to date, we believe the sale of this asset
represents the best option for Precinct. The sale of 10
Brandon Street is conditional on ground lessor approvals
and is due to settle in August 2018.
Progressing these asset sales will enable Precinct to
focusonandrecyclecapitalintoitsfuture
development opportunities.
During the quarter, Precinct also settled the purchase of
Queen Elizabeth Square in Auckland for $27.2 million.

DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
Precinct believe these retailers will complement the
already world class food and beverage offering that
has been secured.
As outlined in our FY18 interim results, construction is
advancing and we continue to closely monitor progress
on site.
Precinct continues to forecast a profit on cost of over
$200 million and a yield on cost of 7.5% once the
development is complete.
We expect to provide a more detailed update on the
contractors programme in our full year results in August.
We encourage you to visit:www.commercialbay.co.nz
Here you can view the latest news, videos and
construction updates on this project.
COMMERCIAL BAY
With 39,000 square metres of office and 18,000 square
metres of retail, Commercial Bay will be Auckland's
largest mixed use development.
Strong retail leasing has been achieved since 31
December 2017 and we have continued to secure a
number of additional key retailers who will define our
unique retail mix at Commercial Bay.
In March of this year, Precinct welcomed its first wave
of fashion store clients, bringing together a carefully
curated mix of established local favourites and first-to-
market global brands.
Furla, Superette, Hershel Supply Co, and a Rodd &
Gunn bespoke Lodge Bar and fashion concept will all
be landmark stores at Commercial Bay in 2019.
