## Resource

Auckland’s Botany Town Centre, New Zealand’s fourth-largest shopping hub and a retail powerhouse generating over $350 million annually, is hitting the market — potentially setting a national record with an estimated $450 million price tag. Anchored by major retailers like Farmers, New World, Hoyts, H&M, and Mecca, this 60,000-square-meter property, renovated for $78 million in 2019, is owned by Canadian pension funds seeking to exit. With only 35% of its land developed, it offers massive potential for future mixed-use growth, especially as the Eastern Busway nears completion, boosting accessibility. International investors from Australia and Asia are expected to lead the bidding war, making this one of the most significant retail real estate deals in NZ history — and a rare global opportunity not to be missed.
