Sylvia Park Lifestyle to be sold to new Mackersy LFR Fund

M&A9 November 2025KPGReal Estate

Kiwi Property has entered into a conditional agreement to sell the property at 393 Mt
Wellington Highway, Auckland, known as Sylvia Park Lifestyle (“SPL”) to a new large-

format retail f und to be established by Mackersy Property Limited (the “Mackersy LFR

Fund”) for $90 million, equivalent to the 31 March 2025 valuation. SPL is the large-

format retail (“LFR”) site adjacent to the Sylvia Park shopping centre. Further detail on

the terms of the sale is set out at the end of this announcement.


Mackersy Property Limited (Mackersy) will be the Manager of, and the issuer of units

in, the Mackersy LFR Fund. On establishment of the Mackersy LFR Fund, Kiwi Property

will subscribe for 50% of the units in the fund as part consideration for the sale of SPL to

the fund. Kiwi Property will also underwrite a further 25% of the units in the fund. Kiwi

Property will continue to undertake property management and leasing in respect of

SPL and will receive a fee for undertaking these services.


It is the intention of both Mackersy and Kiwi Property that the LFR Fund will continue to

grow over time, and will look to acquire suitable LFR assets for this purpose.


Kiwi Property invested in Mackersy by way of a convertible loan in November 2024,

and on completion, Kiwi Property expects to own 50% of Mackersy, with the other 50%

owned by the existing shareholders of Mackersy, being employees or former

employees of Mackersy (or entities associated with those persons). The parties are

targeting a conversion of the Kiwi Property loan to equity in Mackersy on or around 1

December 2025.


Kiwi Property’s CEO, Clive Mackenzie, said: "The sale of Sylvia Park Lifestyle into this

new LFR Fund demonstrates the benefit of our investment in Mackersy, which provides

a new source of capital to support our strategic objectives. Proceeds from the

transaction will be used to fund some of the company's development projects and

provide further balance sheet flexibility."


Mackenzie added, “By retaining a significant stake in the LFR Fund, we can continue

to leverage our retail management and leasing capabilities to drive the performance

of the asset on behalf of both Kiwi Property and LFR Fund investors, while releasing

capital to reinvest in our strategic mixed-use assets. The LFR Fund may also provide a

source of capital for future LFR developments at existing Kiwi Property sites.”


Hamish Wilton, Mackersy’s CEO, commented: “We are pleased to be creating a new

fund for wholesale investors to have the opportunity to invest in large format retail, a

class of assets which tends to be resilient in all market conditions, and which is entering

a new phase of renewed momentum, driven by monetary easing and investor

confidence. Our valued relationship with Kiwi Property has meant we have been able

to secure Sylvia Park Lifestyle as the initial seed asset for the fund.”
