$167m wiped from office values

New Zealand's largest prime office block landlord has had $167 million wiped off the value of its properties, blaming its falling fortunes on the global downturn.

AMP NZ Office Trust's interim nine-month independent revaluation of investment real estate by CB Richard Ellis and Colliers International resulted in a 10.6 per cent devaluation of the properties.

Rob Lang, chief executive of the trust's manager, said the portfolio was now valued at $1.4 billion.

That sparked Credit Suisse research analyst Jason Lindsay to downgrade a valuation on ANZO's units from $1.14 to $1.06, although he added that he thought the dividend of 7.6 cents a unit was sustainable.

The trust was one of the few listed real estate vehicles in New Zealand unlikely to be forced to slash its cash distribution, Lindsay said.
