Pacific Property Diversified Investment Company has announced a new offer to raise $15 million to fund the purchase of Auckland commercial office properties, in Henderson and Mt Eden.
"The premium properties will double the value of the portfolio," says Pacific Property director Denis McMahon.
An extension to the company's Tui Products Limited premises in Truman Lane, in Tauranga, will also be undertaken by Pacific Property following the offer, says McMahon.
The two new substantial properties which will go into Pacific Property following this round of capital raising are located at 6 Alderman Drive, Henderson and 114 Dominion Road, Mt Eden, in Auckland. The offer to market is for up to 15 million ordinary shares to be issued at $1 a share.
Initial pre-offer indications indicate significant interest in the offer due to the forecasted returns and solid weighted average lease term (WALT) across the portfolio, says McMahon.
The Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) is available and the offer - available to existing and new investors - closes on August 24.
"The offer represents an excellent addition to the Pacific Property portfolio. It is in line with Pacific Property's investment strategy to acquire well-located, income-producing properties leased to strong tenants on long leases," McMahon points out.
Pacific Property directors, Denis McMahon and Philip Tushingham, are investors in Pacific Property which was established in 2013 and now has three properties worth $22.575M. This current offer will take the value of the properties owned by the company to about $46.175 million. The new properties will join 59 Druces Road, Wiri, Auckland, 307 Sandwich Road in Hamilton and Truman Lane in Mt Maunganui, Tauranga in the diversified property investment company.
