Precinct Investment Partnership to acquire ASB North Wharf
Precinct Properties Group (Precinct) (NZX: PCT) is pleased to announce the acquisition of
ASB North Wharf by Precinct Pacific Investment Limited Partnership (PPILP) for $205 million.
This is part of an existing partnership with global institutional investor, GIC.
Scott Pritchard, Precinct’s CEO, said, “We are delighted to announce the acquisition of
ASB North Wharf. This aligns with the partnership’s strategy to invest in high-quality, well-
located commercial assets. Completed in 2013, ASB North Wharf is a highly sustainable,
prime grade asset. We are pleased to be extending our relationship with ASB and
welcome their commitment to extend their lease to 2040. This is a strong endorsement of
the Wynyard Quarter precinct, and we look forward to working with ASB as they refresh
their premises to reflect their workforce’s needs.”
Following settlement, the value of the investment partnership will increase to
approximately $0.9 billion, with around 80% of the portfolio by value located in Auckland
and the remainder in Wellington. Precinct will continue to manage the expanded
partnership under the existing investment management agreement and will retain a 24.9%
ownership interest in the Limited Partnership.
The acquisition remains conditional on Overseas Investment Office approval. Settlement is
expected to occur in the first half of 2026.
