I am comfortable with RBC, Left field. You will note that one of the major shareholders has no choice but to sell as the fund is in liquidation mode.

Like Tenon, one of the big shareholders finished selling a few years ago and it has been a very rewarding ride from then.

The building industry in NZ is due for a major shakeup imo - costs have gone completely out of control with duopolies milking the industry for all they can get.

I was in China and am stunned by the cost differential between building costs there vs NZ - especially for materials. They build super skyscrapers there with plenty of glass and it beggars belief that NZ is not importing the glass here in competitive quantity.
