Listed property investor and fund manager Augusta Capital [NZX: AUG] has bought NZME House in Auckland for $115.8 million and plans to bundle the property into a syndication investment.
Augusta bought the building at Graham Street in the CBD from a subsidiary of property developer and rich listers Manson TCLM, with the deal to settle on August 15, it says.
The firm will pay for the building through a planned $70 million syndication on investor equity to be raised in units of $50,000 each, opening at the beginning of June. The balance will be funded by debt. The syndication is fully underwritten, with Augusta providing a $25 million backstop.
NZME House is tenanted by NZME/APN over three floors, Pernod Ricard and Meredith Connell on one floor each while one level is vacant. As a pre-condition to the settlement, Manson TCLM is looking to find a new tenant for the vacant floor on a nine-year lease, and is in talks with potential parties, Augusta says.

The Best of Both Worlds: How Omnique Fund is Rewiring Real World Assets via Tokenisation
For decades, the playbook for Australia’s wholesale investors has remained relatively unchanged: pick between the slow-moving, illiquid reliability of tangible assets like property and gold, or chase the frictionless, high-velocity liquidity of public equity and digital markets. But as macroeconomic volatility spikes and a structural housing deficit reshapes private debt demand, sophisticated investors are demanding […]
