WELLINGTON real estate agent Bill Leckie has stitched up another big office block deal in Auckland – the sale of Fonterra House for about $40 million.
The sale is subject to a confidentiality deal, but it is understood Fonterra House was sold by Shortland Properties, a subsidiary of AMP Capital Property, to German businessman and island broker Farhad Vladi.
Mr Vladi, who is based in Hamburg, also owns the Old Bank building on the corner of Lambton and Customhouse quays and last year bought the AMP building on Customhouse Quay for $29.6 million.
Mr Leckie declined to comment on the latest sale because he was bound by a confidentiality deal.
But he has now secured the three largest property deals in the country this year.
The Fonterra building sale comes just four months after Mr Leckie – who is based at Colliers International Wellington office – signed up the $177-million sale of the newly opened 21-storey Deloitte Centre at 80 Queen St, Auckland.
The Deloitte Centre building was sold by Brookfield Multiplex Construction to Sabina – a company co-owned by Hallenstein Glasson director Tim Glasson and chairman Warren Bell.
And earlier this month Mr Leckie was involved in the $40-million deal to sell the Police National headquarters building in Molesworth St.
That building was sold by Brookfield Multiplex to a group of Singaporean investors associated with Hotel Grand Central.
The Fonterra building was built in 1990 and is reported to have required $4 million worth of remedial work to fix leaks around its windows.
