New Property Fund Targets $1bn, Acquires High-Tech Agri Asset
A new wholesale property investment fund aiming to build a $1 billion portfolio of commercial assets by 2030 is acquiring a flagship coolstore in Hawke's Bay that is transforming the way New Zealand apples are prepared for export. The first asset in the Erskine Owen Veritas Property Fund is set to be a $24 million smart logistics facility operated by Mr Apple, one of the country's largest vertically integrated apple exporters and a subsidiary of NZX-listed Scales Corporation. The 7,000m² coolstore will serve as the Fund's cornerstone investment, under a 20-year triple net lease. Alan Henderson, director at Erskine Owen, says the facility is a strong example of the export-aligned infrastructure the Fund will focus on. 'We chose this site as the fund's foundation because it ticks all the boxes. It is a core industrial logistics facility, under a long-term lease to a globally competitive exporter, located in a region that is vital to New Zealand's agri-economy. 'We're focused on assets that help drive New Zealand's global competitiveness and that perform well in both stable and volatile markets. These are the kinds of buildings that don't go out of fashion, that provide reliable income and that help sectors like horticulture and agribusiness perform at the highest level,' he says The PIE Fund aims to diversify across infrastructure, healthcare, manufacturing, office and retail sectors, with a goal of reaching $1 billion in holdings within five years. Henderson says the capital raise for the Groome Place coolstore is already underway. 'This is a Fund with a long-term growth and diversification strategy, which is intended to spread investment risk across sectors and locations. We are aiming to have $200 million in assets within 12 to 18 months and increase that to a billion dollars within four years after that. 'The asset quality here speaks for itself. There's clear investor appetite for export-aligned infrastructure backed by strong tenant covenants,' he says. The Groome Place site itself is a leap forward for post-harvest logistics. It incorporates advanced design, automation and environmental controls to optimise throughput and quality, allowing Mr Apple to process around 3,000 bins of apples daily. Michael Caccioppoli, head of coolstores, logistics and engineering at Mr Apple, says the new system has cut the time between orchard and packhouse by 25 percent. 'This turnaround speed directly supports export quality, and by shortening the time from picking to cooling, we're able to preserve internal fruit integrity. 'That means apples are fresher when they hit the ships. It improves shelf life, reduces quality complaints and lifts the eating experience for millions of consumers around the world, which is critical as we establish markets for new varieties,' he says. In 2024, 72 percent of Mr Apple's exports were premium varieties like Dazzle, Posy and NZ Queen. The company aims to grow that figure to 75–80 percent by 2027. The new facility supports that ambition with optimised workflows, precision-controlled storage and lower environmental impact, using 15 to 20 percent less CO2 than older sites to slow fruit respiration and delay ripening. Despite its scale, the coolstore is operated by just eight staff thanks to automation and system integration, enabling tight control over environmental variables. The layout has been designed to reduce handling and labour costs while accelerating the flow of fruit through to export. Caccioppoli says the benefits go beyond product quality. 'The system helps protect margin and reduce risk in a volatile global freight market,' he says. Henderson says investors are increasingly seeking assets with reliable returns, and with features that align with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations and export relevance. 'It reinforces our view that there is real demand for high-quality, income-generating assets in this sector. 'The coolstore reflects the kind of high-performance infrastructure we're targeting - efficient, export-driven and future-ready,' he says. The Erskine Owen Veritas Property Fund is now open to wholesale investors, offering access to income-producing infrastructure assets.1 Notes: 1 Important: The Erskine Owen Veritas Property Fund is open only to wholesale investors under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

The swimming coach, who split from the fitness influencer at the end of 2023, shed light on the difficulties of co-parenting after receiving 'fifty missed calls and messages' from Tammy, whom he shares three-year-old Posy with.

Tammy Hembrow and Matt Zukowski have long been rumoured to be on the rocks, but the Love Island Australia star has all but confirmed speculation after missing a milestone moment. The couple have been fuelling split rumours for weeks with an array of cryptic Instagram posts and glaring absences pointing to trouble in paradise. Matt, who co-hosts the Where's Your Head podcast alongside fellow reality star Anna McEvoy, posted a picture to his Instagram story on Monday holding her newborn baby. 'Meeting Suede Staples,' the 29-year-old captioned the post, accompanied with a blue heart. In the snap, Matt wore a big smile and an all black ensemble as he held the little one, who Anna welcomed with Michael Staples earlier in June.

The couple have been fueling split rumours for weeks with an array of cryptic Instagram posts and glaring absences pointing to trouble in paradise However, as Matt cuddled up to Anna's newborn bub, he was clearly not wearing his wedding ring, a traditional plain white gold band. It comes as the podcaster was notably absent from Tammy's daughter Posy's birthday party, which she hosted over the weekend. In a series of pictures and videos posted to Instagram, the fitness influencer, 31, also opted to ditch her wedding band and diamond engagement ring as she threw Posy's fairy-themed third birthday party without her husband. One clip showed Tammy in a pink lacy tank top as she prepared adorable fruit skewers for her daughter's birthday bash with a bare ring finger. Later, she shared a photo alongside her three kids - daughters Saskia, eight, and Posy, three, and son Wolf, ten - this time, wearing a pale green bodycon dress with no sign of the sparkler Matt gifted her when he popped the question last year, nor the band she paired it with when they wed. The couple married in Byron Bay in November, and Tammy opted for a band of huge glittering diamonds. An Australian jeweller has estimated that the wedding band would have set the star back a massive $23,000. Meanwhile, her $46,000 engagement ring features an oval-cut diamond, estimated to be around two carats, which sits on a full diamond band. Matt has refrained from sharing any recent posts or stories featuring Tammy, further fuelling speculation that the pair may have quietly parted ways. Sources close to the couple previously told Daily Mail Australia the pair are 'on a break', with Matt relocating back to his native Melbourne while Tammy remains in Queensland with her three children. Matt also ramped up rumours that his whirlwind romance with Tammy may be over after posting footage of himself going to the movies solo in recent months. He took to Instagram to share a video from inside the cinema, revealing he was watching Death of a Unicorn alone - a move which came after fans noticed he was absent from Tammy's 31st birthday celebrations.

Poole shared his joyful baby news by posting a heartwarming photo to social media of himself cradling the newborn in his arms. This is the first child for Poole and Annalyse. The couple's romance first sparked in early 2023, following his split from Tammy in December 2022. Their relationship blossomed and after two years of dating they have now grown their family.
