MARKET RELEASE
Another 5 Green Star rating for Argosy
Argosy is very pleased to announce that its industrial property at Highgate, Silverdale tenanted
by Mighty Ape, has been awarded a 5 Green Star Industrial Built v3 rating by the New Zealand
Green Building Council (NZGBC). This is only the third Green Star industrial built rating in New
Zealand. The rating represents New Zealand Excellence.
Peter Mence, Chief Executive Officer said ‘The rating continues to endorse the quality of our
properties and our focus on greening the portfolio. We initially targeted a 4 Star Rating but by
employing some creative thinking in our approach to design and build, we obtained the
additional credits to allow us to get to 5 Stars. I’m really pleased for the Argosy team, our
investors and especially our tenant. Without Mighty Ape’s commitment to the proven benefits
of green buildings, none of this would be possible.”
“Operating a facility built to this standard illustrates our commitment to aligning ourselves with
the sustainability goals of our customers” said Alastair Burns, General Manager of Mighty Ape.
“We are humbled by the recognition of this commitment and proud to be the third company to
operate a facility of this standard in New Zealand.” Alastair also said “This award is just the
beginning for us. We will continue to develop new sustainable business practices with the goal
of protecting our country and its environment for generations to come."
NZGBC CEO Andrew Eagles said “This is great collaboration between Argosy and Mighty Ape.
All of New Zealand’s homes and buildings need to be significantly lower carbon emitting and
sustainable. Leadership like this helps show the sector and others what is possible. Exemplary
work here to achieve a 5 Green Star. This is the future.”
