Thompson says the banking chambers and the surrounding 45,000sq m Westgate Regional Shopping Centre are fully managed by NZRPG Management, which strives to ensure the centre maintains its position as one of Auckland's pre-eminent shopping destinations. NZRPG also manages the Highbury and Milford shopping centres on Auckland's North Shore, and the Fraser Cove Shopping Centre in Tauranga.
"This opportunity to directly own property within an institutional-grade retail centre under management is unprecedented in New Zealand," Thompson says.
"Participation in real-estate holdings of this quality are usually only available indirectly through investment in listed property trusts. This investment offer delivers the benefits of direct property ownership enhanced by the critical mass of a large and well-managed shopping centre.
"The block also benefits from a built-in level of rent growth through Consumer Price Index, and greater of CPI or market rent reviews, over a majority of the leases."
Completed in 2005, the property comprises three ground-floor freehold retail strata units, with three first-floor strata office units above.
Each of the ground-floor retail tenancies have bathrooms with shared male and female toilets on Level 1. A central lift and two separate stairwells provide access between the first level and ground floor.
Bode says the Westgate Centre, anchored by a Countdown supermarket, Farmers department store and The Warehouse, has 80 speciality retail and service retailers and about 1450 carparking spaces.
"Westgate is a successful regional shopping centre that draws from a rapidly growing population," he says.
"Situated only 15 minutes' drive west of downtown Auckland, the centre is strategically positioned at the junction of the Northwestern Motorway and Upper Harbour Motorway.
"Identified in the Auckland Plan as one of Auckland's key metropolitan centres, NZRPG has embarked on an scheme which will see 56ha of new mixed-use development opposite the Westgate Shopping Centre."
