Goodman Property Trust is also pleased to announce that as a result of independent property valuations undertaken for year end reporting purposes, the investment portfolio has recorded an unaudited unrealised gain of 2.5% equating to an increase of approximately $32.0 million. The gain will lift NTA by 3.9 cents per unit, before adjusting for deferred tax.

John Dakin, Chief Executive Officer of Goodman (NZ) Limited, the Manager of the Trust, said: “The gain in value reflects an improved quality of portfolio, rental growth and continued demand for high quality investments.” The weighted average capitalisation rate across the portfolio has strengthened from 8.2% in March 2007 to 8.0% currently.

This revaluation remains subject to an audit and the audited revaluation gain will be confirmed as part of GMT’s full-year financial result.
