Fringe property is defined as any commercial real estate just outside the limits of the central business district, and includes suburbs such as Herne Bay, Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Newton, Parnell, Newmarket, Kingsland and Morningside.Rick Hamilton and Warwick Lewis, who specialise in city fringe sales for Barfoot & Thompson Commercial, say the demand for fringe properties far exceeds supply.
