Goodman Property expands development plans

depreciations-homeThe country's second-biggest listed property investor Goodman Property Trust has ratcheted up development plans with four new industrial projects in Auckland worth $NZ45.8 million ($A42.33 million).

The Auckland-based property firm's developments will add 27,112 square metres of rentable area to its portfolio, which it anticipates will generate annual revenue of $NZ3.4m, trust manager Goodman (NZ) said.

Goodman Property will develop a manufacturing and warehousing facility for Orora Packaging at its M20 Business Park and a new warehouse adjacent to the Orora development slated for an October 2016 finish at a cost of $NZ26.9m.

It will also increase the planned CSR Viridian expansion at Highbrook Business Park, which is expected to be done in March next year, and build warehouse facilities for Holden (New Zealand) at its Savill Link estate by May 2016, for a combined cost of $NZ18.9m.

"Strong property fundamentals and continuing customer demand is allowing us to accelerate our development programme," Goodman chief executive John Dakin said.

"With new businesses choosing to locate to design-built premises at our estates and existing customers exercising expansion options, we are targeting $NZ100 million to $NZ150 million of new development projects annually."

Goodman Property has been increasing its development work, including a joint venture with Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC, after selling $150m of properties last year as part of a strategy to improve the quality of its portfolio.

The property investor's property portfolio and development projects were valued at $NZ2.1 billion as at March 31.
