New $120m office building in Albany for Auckland Council a step closer
A new $120m building in Albany for the Auckland Council as anchor tenant is a step closer with the developer announcing it will raise $60m in capital to help pay for it.
Late last year small property player Asset Plus entered into a conditional agreement to develop and lease a six-level office building to the super city council, in Munroe Lane, Albany. Some 63 per cent was to be leased to Auckland Council for 15 years with two six-year rights of renewal.
Now it has announced a new plan to raise $60.2m from overseas investors and from its shareholders, as well as a new deal with its banks, to fund the development.

Communal cars planned for Auckland apartment village to prevent road congestion
A project to upgrade Greenslade Reserve will soon enter stage two works later this month following a funding boost from the Government.
The work includes the lowering of the existing sports field and the replacement of underground stormwater pipes to reduce the frequency and severity of flooding in and around the town centre.
Stage two was confirmed following a funding boost through the Government’s “shovel-ready” infrastructure projects scheme, a scheme aimed to get the economy going post-COVID-19. Auckland Council and Kāinga Ora welcome this funding for the Northcote Development project, which includes works at Greenslade Reserve.
