NZX announcement – 3 October 2022
Major leasing progress at Wynyard Stage 3
Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited is pleased to announce that Beca will be relocating to
the Wynyard Quarter Innovation Precinct on a 12-year lease term over 14,049 square metres.
The leasing to Beca will require Precinct to commit to 117 Pakenham, the last building of the
Stage and the Wynyard Quarter Innovation Precinct.
Scott Pritchard, Precinct CEO, said “Securing an occupier like Beca so early in the stage of the
development highlights the value that businesses continue to place on high-quality, centrally
located office spaces; particularly as employees are returning to the office environment”.
As announced in December 2021, Precinct is underway with construction of 124 Halsey and the
Flowers Building, the first two buildings of Wynyard Quarter Stage 3. The addition of 117
Pakenham increases the lettable area of the stage by 8,600 square metres to 21,100 square
metres. Pre-committed leasing now represents 65% of the Wynyard Stage 3 net lettable area by
income.
117 Pakenham comprises 7 floors of commercial office space and continues to follow the
Wynyard Quarter Innovation Precinct’s market-leading sustainability outcomes to date.
Designed in accordance with the Wynyard Quarter Sustainability Standards, the building will
target 6-star Green Star and 5-star NABERSNZ. The addition of 117 Pakenham will increase the
total project cost by $115 million, with a yield on cost of 5.6%.
