The $250 million 39-level, 309-unit St James Suites apartments was to be built on Queen St beside the historic St James Theatre but developer Relianz Holdings is today telling buyers it is abandoning the deal.
despite significant efforts to secure replacement funding to allow the project to progress, difficult lending market conditions mean it has not been able to reach a feasible solution,"
"Unfortunately, this means the St James Suites apartment development is not currently viable and the development is on hold until further notice.
buyers will receive their deposits back in full, plus interest,"
will review the viability of the project should lending market conditions improve in the future
more tripe from developers - watch this same developer offer something within 6 months with 20% higher asking prices. The "can't get funding" argument is bollocks, this is pure greed plain and simple.

That's one of the more ridiculous posts I've seen for a while.
agree we'll probably see this development back on track soon

i suspect this is more a shot across the bows of the banks + finance ministry
the auckland market is not suffering from the same over-supply as australia
and australian banks needs different criteria for it

dug by the disbanded ARC
Goff would have dreams consisting of new taxes he can apply to developers I'd think.

in the uk, where we got the idea of leasehold land
there are complaints that expanding the victorian leasehold system to modern times
is a modern evil
the chief executive of the HomeOwners Alliance, said:
“Unscrupulous players within the industry have turned what has been a form of tenure for centuries into a money-grabbing scheme that has left thousands of buyers across the country trapped in properties that are now essentially unsaleable.
“Leasehold houses, doubling of ground rents and unfair clauses are leaving homeowners in a nightmare situation and the government is clearly not treating the issue with the severity it deserves.
Exactly what's happening around Greenlane and Meadowbank, (Auckland). St Johns college trust board are raking it in. I saw a lovely 5 bed house go for 55K last year.
