Global Yellow Pages

Auckland Council and GYP Properties have been unable to reach agreement on terms for a joint venture for the redevelopment of Pakuranga Town Centre, an eastern suburb of the New Zealand city.

Both parties are major landowners in the area. Negotiations followed a non-binding memorandum of understanding signed last August.

Auckland Council spokesman John Dunshea, general manager of the Development Programme Office, said the council's focus has been on delivering the best outcome for the local community and the wider region.

Mr Mah Bow Tan, the chairman of Global Yellow Pages, the parent company of GYP Properties, said the company will go forward with a revised development plan that will be built exclusively on GYP Properties-owned land. It also remains committed to the redevelopment of Pakuranga Plaza shopping mall, a freehold property which it owns.
