    Centuria Bass NZ First Mortgage Fund No.4

Centuria Bass NZ First Mortgage Fund No. 4 is a fixed term property debt investment opportunity offering investors a forecast pre-tax return of 10% p.a.1, with investors’ funds used to refinance a land bridge loan to borrowing entities associated with Thames Pacific, a reputable New Zealand property developer, secured by a first mortgage over two Kapiti Coast  properties. Investors’ capital and the target return are forecast to be distributed when the land bridge loan is due to be repaid in April 2025.2

Property and location

The Secured Properties are a 1.89 ha site at Paraparaumu Beach and the 32.9 ha site at Waikanae. Both positioned for future residential developments and are supported by high demand for medium density housing, lack of supply in the region and strong population growth.4

The Kapiti Coast is one of the fastest growing regions north of Wellington with population growth expected to increase by 55% over the next 30 years. It also benefits from the recent completion of Transmission Gully, providing a key transport link and reduced commute times to the Wellington CBD.

About the borrower

The borrower is associated with Thames Pacific, a reputable New Zealand developer who has successfully completed multiple residential and mixed-use projects across both Australia and NZ including the Kapiti Coast, where the secured properties are located.

Why invest in real estate debt

Investing in real estate debt gives Wholesale Investors exposure to an asset class with capital protection which benefits from a first ranking mortgages over the secured properties. If the underlying borrowers default on their loan, the secured properties can be sold and the proceeds applied to repay Investors. A secured debt investment provides a priority position in the capital structure of the borrower, and is repaid ahead of equity.

The proposed investment involves a conservative LVR of 35.8%. If the borrower defaults on the loan and the secured properties are sold to recover the debt, the properties’ value would need to drop significantly before Investors’ capital is impacted.
