Development for Restaurant Brands at Eastgate

Asset Plus (NZX:APL) is pleased to announce the entry into a conditional Agreement to Lease (ATL) with Restaurant
Brands Limited to construct a new building on existing bare land at Eastgate Shopping Centre, Christchurch for
occupation by one of Restaurant Brands’ fast food brands on completion. Restaurant Brands will lease the 250m
2

net lettable area building on a 10 year lease term from completion in 2021. The ATL is conditional on obtaining
Resource Consent prior to 23 November 2020.

Asset Plus Chairman, Bruce Cotterill said: “We are delighted to announce this development with a long term lease
from completion to Restaurant Brands. This development builds on the recent positive activity within the Eastgate
complex, and activates the key gateway entry to the centre on land that has been underutilised to date. The
development is anticipated to assist in attracting a wider customer base to Eastgate, which is expected to have
positive flow on benefits for the wider centre.”

Key forecast metrics for the development include:

• Development expenditure of $1.3m (excluding already held land);
• Forecast development margin of 20%;
• Forecast yield on cost of 6%
Under the ATL, the development is required to be completed within nine months of the ATL becoming
unconditional, subject to extension for usual force majeure events.
