The New Zealand Superannuation Fund has announced that AMP Capital Investors (NZ) Limited has been appointed to manage a New Zealand unlisted property mandate, via the AMP Property Portfolio (APP).

The Fund will initially invest $78 million in the APP, a nation-wide diversified portfolio of 28 commercial, office, industrial, retail, hotel, and development properties. Valued at more than $565 million, the APP includes interests in the Botany Town Centre, LynnMall Shopping Centre, Manukau Supa Centre, and the PWC Tower/Capital on the Quay.
