It would be a great location for the former, IMO, but is 2.5ha a viable size for one of the big three? Probably.
Yes, you read it here first, in April!

They have an opportunity here to provide the extra facilities that Ryman provide such as dementia care as mentioned by Roger and Couta. Is this a likelihood? I see that they mention care facilities.

Let me play devil's advocate, a role that's not unfamiliar to me LOL....I wonder if the teenager learned anything from its multi year Boulcott site fiasco and made the offer subject to due diligence and consenting approval...knowing Mr "Gung Ho's" approach at SUM it wouldn't surprise me if they've bitten themselves off another problem too big to chew in terms of resource consenting and get left holding the baby again. Chequered track record and a PE of 30...good luck to holders, I think you'll need it. I note its a very small site in terms of acreage so they'll need an intensive development to get anything approaching any reasonable economy of scale...intensive development's are a real can of worms in terms of consenting. Pretty litigious bunch of neighbours in that neck of the woods too.

Good news keeps coming from this (relatively) undervalued co.

Yep its all very well buying up land but land you can't get consents for due to bad choice and or arrogance toward local councils ain't gonna do much for shareholders other than providing grazing opportunities for the local sheep population.

Absolutely and some would be brave enough to suggest "SUM" of SUM's shareholders too LOL. I must say I really like the way MET manages their land acquisitions when making a far bigger land acquisition like the one at Red Beach recently they make it crystal clear the purchase is subject to due diligence and resource consent approval so there's no possibility of them ending up in a multi year Boulcott consenting fiasco. Prudent management v Gung Ho trust us we know what we are doing...too early for a Tui ?

Roger will be happy with his MET which will be back over $5 soon and why would he pay $4 when he could get them for $3.50 ish in a few months if he wanted

LOL Wild horses couldn't drag me onto the share register mate. I buy well managed, well governed, proven companies on realistic metrics. So many hurdles this pup doesn't jump...

I guess SUM fell into this category last year (see post 1737) so things change fast. Maybe it's back on track... time will tell I guess.
