PCT - Precinct Investment Partnership to acquire ASB North Wharf

Tuesday 27th January 2026

Precinct Properties Group (Precinct) (NZX: PCT ) is pleased to announce the acquisition of ASB North Wharf by Precinct Pacific Investment Limited Partnership (PPILP) for $205 million. This is part of an existing partnership with global institutional investor, GIC.

Scott Pritchard, Precinct’s CEO, said, “We are delighted to announce the acquisition of ASB North Wharf. This aligns with the partnership’s strategy to invest in high-quality, well-located commercial assets. Completed in 2013, ASB North Wharf is a highly sustainable, prime grade asset. We are pleased to be extending our relationship with ASB and welcome their commitment to extend their lease to 2040. This is a strong endorsement of the Wynyard Quarter precinct, and we look forward to working with ASB as they refresh their premises to reflect their workforce’s needs.”

Following settlement, the value of the investment partnership will increase to approximately $0.9 billion, with around 80% of the portfolio by value located in Auckland and the remainder in Wellington. Precinct will continue to manage the expanded partnership under the existing investment management agreement and will retain a 24.9% ownership interest in the Limited Partnership.

The acquisition remains conditional on Overseas Investment Office approval. Settlement is expected to occur in the first half of 2026.
