CURRENT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

FOCUS ON COMPLETING 6 STAR GREEN DEVELOPMENT

8-14 Willis Street/360 Lambton Quay:Argosy continues to progress with an

expected completion date in February 2022. As noted at the interim

result, the addition of an 11th floor to the initial plans will cost $6.8 million

and deliver incremental income of $0.7 million. 360 Lambton Quay is in

the process of being repurposed into a combination of retail and office

space. This, along with increased costs caused by delays to the project

have increased the expected total spend (including land) to $140.1

million. The net rental for the combined building is now expected to be

$7.4 million. The IRR on the combined development is expected to be

7.2%, with an initial yield on cost of 5.3%. The development margin is 7.6%.

Other green developments: The 101 Carlton Gore Road and 105 Carlton

Gore Road green projects have been deferred.

of

space on Levels 9 and 12.

Insurance Claim

Argosy settled its insurance claim with its

insurers, receiving a further $23.5 million

plus GST as full and final settlement. The

total payout was 80% of the claim.

Façade

The additional work on the exterior

façade of the building, expected to

cost $15.5 million, is progressing and

ANNUAL REVALUATIONS

CAP RATE FIRMING AND RENTAL GROWTH KEY DRIVERS OF INCREASE

For the year to 31 March, the

portfolio recorded a revaluation

gain of $157.7m or 8.5%. The

portfolio market yield firmed

63bps.

By location, Auckland was the

largest contributor to the

revaluation gain with $150.2m of

the total portfolio gain.

By sector, Industrial experienced

solid cap rate firming and market

rental growth in the period, and

provided the greatest

contribution at $129.9 million, up

15.2%.

The Office portfolio revaluation

was weighed down by additional

capital required for the façade

repairs at 7 Waterloo Quay and

increased development costs at

8- 14 Willis Street/360 Lambton

Quay.

6.3% for the financial year.

Additional income from 7WQ,

acquisitions & recently completed

developments were partially offset

by disposals and rental abatements

for Covid-19.

to lower capitalised interest as

developments completed.

Forfeited deposit of $4.5m from the

incomplete sale of Albany Lifestyle

Centre.

Insurance settlement proceeds

were received in FY21.

Strong annual revaluation gain,

equating to an 8.5% increase

MARKET UPDATE
32—

INDUSTRIALOFFICELARGE FORMAT RETAIL

►Net absorption continues to drive

additional supply.

►Limited land supply in Auckland

and Wellington puts pressure on

land values and encourages non-

traditional locations.

►Rental growth continues.

►Vacancy remains very low, with

limited speculative supply.

►Effects of Covid-19 recession have

been muted.

►Flexible working environments

continue to drive a disconnect

between employment growth and

net absorption.

►Net absorption effect of Covid-19 has

resulted in a significant increase in

space available for sub-lease in A

grade and prime buildings in the

Auckland market

►Rental growth impacted by new

supply – softer in Auckland, and firmer

in Wellington.

►The Wellington market continues to

show solid demand, with low

vacancy for good quality seismically

sound space that is well located.

There is a shortage of large floor

plate/high quality stock with upward

rental growth pressure as a result.

Premium and Grade A vacancy is

minimal.

►Many retailers’ systems have been

shown to be inadequate to cope

with higher online sales volumes.

►Structural change in retail property

will show increased focus on

showroom and semi-industrial

facilities.

►Impact of additional development

will be felt particularly in secondary

locations.

►Large format, and entertainment

retail expected to be most secure

►Rental growth has been negative

over the last 6 months.

FOCUS & OUTLOOK
33—

2022 OUTLOOK
34—

The current domestic and global economic outlook still remains challenging. Vaccination rollouts globally

are accelerating. Countries will open up again for tourism in the near term.

However, central banks globally are dealing with the conflicting forces of transitory inflationary pressures

driven by Covid supply chain issues rather than economic growth. NZ is not immune. Our low monetary

policy settings could rise in the medium term which could create an unintended headwind for business

confidence and growth.

Key focus areas for FY22 include an operational focus on addressing key expiries, leasing up remaining

vacancies and continuation of the green development programme.

New Zealand monetary policy settings should remain stimulatory for the economy over the short term but

the medium term could see risk of tightening policy settings.

Property fundamentals in key metropolitan markets are still robust and some segments (e.g. Wellington

office, Auckland industrial) continue to present attractive dynamics of low supply, high demand and

steady rental growth.
