Property Managers Group unconditional on Kelston Shopping Centre
________________________________________________________
AUCKLAND, June 19 - Today property and funds management company, Property Managers Group (PMG), announced it has secured an unconditional
agreement to purchase the Kelston Shopping Centre in West Auckland on behalf of one of its diversified investment funds,
Pacific Property Fund Limited (Pacific Property).
Secured by PMG as an off-market acquisition, it is the largest single purchase in the successful, privately-owned
company’s 25-year history.
PMG will be offering interested investors the ability to participate in a new Share Offer by Pacific Property in
September, following the registration of a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).
PMG CEO, Scott McKenzie, says the Kelston Shopping Centre presents an exciting opportunity for investors.
“Located on the corner of two main arterial routes in West Auckland, just off the South Western Motorway and only 15
mins to the CBD, the surrounding area is now predominantly designated under Auckland’s Unitary Plan as Terrace Housing
and Apartment Buildings,” says McKenzie.
“This means a greater density of homes can be built around the shopping centre. Auckland Council has identified Kelston
as a key suburb to facilitate intensification over the next decade which will have a positive impact on the centre.”
“The Kelston Shopping Centre’s immediate primary catchment area is expected to grow by 29% to 42,000 by 2043. Within
this catchment, local resident purchasing power is estimated to increase 17% from $780 million in 2014 to $910 million
in 2023[1],” says McKenzie.
