Could Summerset Group overtake Ryman Healthcare? What’s the mystery behind the
sale of 18 Auckland townhouses? How much a night will Kiwi Property’s new Resido
apartments cost? And what did institutions pay last week to buy out an Abu Dhabi
owner of Precinct Properties?

Julian Cook, ex-Summerset Group chief executive, delighted in his erstwhile
company’s full-year result out last week.

He reacted to a Herald story headlined Retirement company boss explains how they
lifted profit in a housing downturn.

The financials for the year to December 31, 2023, indicated even better times
ahead for Summerset, he forecast, possibly overtaking rival Ryman Healthcare.



“How good is this result? Won’t be long at this rate and Summerset will have the
largest market cap of the retirement village operators in New Zealand. Quite the
story since starting in 1997 in Whanganui from scratch and the ca $300m market
cap post IPO in 2011,” wrote Cook.

He worked for that business for 11 years, initially as chief financial officer.

Asked about Cook’s comments, a Ryman spokeswoman said no comment would be made.

NZX information shows Summerset trading above $11 compared to Ryman at around
$4.60.

Julian Cook is predicting even bigger things for Summerset Group.

Summerset’s market cap is $2.6 billion, whereas Ryman’s remains larger at $3.1b.

Ryman’s projected build rate for FY24 is 650 to 750 units. It said on February
19 that it expected to be at the lower end of that guidance.

Summerset expects to build 675 to 725 units in 2024 so the two companies are
pretty much neck and neck when it comes to the development of new stock.




LENDER: ‘WE DIDN’T CALL UP THE LOAN’

The houses for sale at 106 Triangle Road, in Massey, are nearly complete and are
due to get their CCC in March.

So close, yet so far.

Why would someone sell 18 Auckland townhouses as one lot without individual
title or CCC (Council Code of Compliance)? Could this be a sign of yet further
pressure on the struggling residential market?

Questions, questions.

Title information for 106 Triangle Rd, Massey shows Vincent Capital has loaned
money on the property. The townhouses are up but now for sale in bulk. TDS
Project Management is listed as the property’s owner. Shenfeng Zhang of Rotorua
is its sole director and owner.

The mortgage doesn’t seem to be the issue.

“This sale hasn’t been called for by us. We can’t give out the loan amount but
it’s not in default,” said a Vincent boss.

Ray White Remuera agent Banson Chong is marketing the townhouses with Cary
Chong, indicating a $12 million to $13m price.

Banson Chong said the owner had decided to sell to move on to the next project.

“He’s funding a much bigger project in Pukekohe with a subdivision for more than
100 sections and he’s also one of the largest developers in Rotorua,” he told
Property Insider.

The townhouses passed final inspection but are awaiting code compliance
certificates and titles to be issued, Chong said.


RESIDO - A PLACE TO STAY SOON FOR $381/NIGHT

Naylor Love is nearing completion of Kiwi Property Group’s first residential
development, the $200m Resido.

Kiwi showed progress on its build-to-rent scheme via photographs supplied to
Property Insider last Wednesday, when it said it had signed a deal with an
Australian business to rent 34 of the 295 units.

Urban Rest will take over those 34 units and make them available to corporate
clients and friends and family of people who rent other Resido units, CEO Clive
Mackenzie said.

It’s not cheap.

Urban Rest is advertising a one-bedroom Resido place at $254/night and two
bedrooms for $381/night. A communal lounge area, elevator, rooftop terrace, gym
and co-working hub are offered by the Sydney business.

Urban Rest, founded in 2017, is advertising places in Adelaide, Brisbane,
Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney, Dublin and London.


PRECINCT PROPERTIES - WHERE INSTITUTIONS GET A BARGAIN

Mohammed Alnuaimi was until late 2022 a director of Precinct but Haumi said it
would not continue to have a director on the company's board.

The 14.9 per cent Precinct Properties New Zealand stake sold by Abu Dhabi
interests went for a discount to the trading price when it sold last week.

The underwritten block trade was scoffed up by institutional investors here and
in Australia, an investment specialist said. Retail investors didn’t get a look
in.

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority’s Haumi Company had Jarden Partners manage
and underwrite the sale of their 237 million shares in Precinct, the holding
worth $261,678,360.90.

Haumi’s notice said the shares sold for $1.10 each. By late Thursday, Precinct
shares were trading at around $1.16 so the institutions got a bargain.

Word of the deal leaked to the Australian media last Wednesday. It was only on
Thursday that Haumi issued notices on the NZX via Precinct.

Anne Gibson has been the Herald’s property editor for 24 years, has won many
awards, written books and covered property extensively here and overseas.
