ACPIL SECURES FIRST TENANT FOR OFFICE BLOCK AND ANNOUNCES EXTENSION TO BOND OFFER

Albany City Property Investments Limited (ACPIL) is delighted to announce that it has now received resource consent to construct its first office building in Albany on Auckland’s North Shore. Earthworks will commence at the site next month.

ACPIL director Garry Looker says in addition to acquiring resource consent for its new office building in Albany, ACPIL has also secured its first tenant. The office building is situated immediately adjacent to the motorway and is being developed in conjunction with the North Shore City Council’s masterplan for Albany City. The building is a high grade block covering 3,600 square metres in total including 104 carparks.

ACPIL is also announcing that it is extending its capital raising to 15 May 2007 after receiving $13 million in total from the public, with commitments for a further $6 million. The bonds are currently trading on the trading platform Unlisted.

Mr Looker says: “We believe that the pleasing level of support for this new company is a reflection of the quality of the investment and the vision of the project. From the outset, we have been actively working with other stakeholders to create an attractive and sustainable business environment for the region that meets all retail, recreational, and environmental requirements, and that appeals to our investors.”

Mr Looker adds "It is exciting to now be commencing construction of our first development. Securing our first tenant is a positive start for the building, which has already attracted some very high quality prospective tenants. This interest is an encouraging signal for ACPIL’s overall portfolio, and also for the wider North Shore region”
