The Initial Property in Agri Fund is located at 208 Fordyce Road, Helensville, Auckland (only 45 minutes’ drive from Auckland’s CBD). It is a 29.7 hectare site on which greenhouse and packhouse facilities operate for growing and processing fresh herbs for both domestic and global distribution. The main glasshouse features heavy automation, including in the potting, spacing, fertigation, shading, harvesting and cleaning processes.
7.87 hectares of rural zoned land, consisting of glasshouses and packhouse facilities for growing and processing fresh cut flowers.
The tenant, Blooming Hill, is the largest cut rose grower in New Zealand, producing approximately 35% of all roses and 15% of gerberas grown domestically. The improvements on the property are in good condition, and the tenant is in the process of expanding into exotic fruit production with crops of papaya fruit already underway.
The property is on a 15-year triple net lease and includes one right of renewal – taking final expiry to 2048. This acquisition provides investors in the Fund with further tenant and geographic diversification.
A Triple Net Lease means that Agri Fund, as the landlord, is insulated from all liability in relation to the Initial Property to the maximum extent permitted by law. For example, any costs of capital expenditure, repair, maintenance and other works whether structural or otherwise are not Agri Fund’s responsibility. The Lease stipulates the Tenant is responsible and has the same liabilities in regards to the premises as if the Tenant was the “owner”. This is widely considered the most landlord friendly form of lease.
