Kiwi Property’s retail portfolio rose by $114 million or 7 percent in the year to March 31. Sylvia Park set another record valuation, rising 11 percent to $704 million. The company says this was assisted by its securing New Zealand’s first Zara and H&M outlets – the arrival of the international fast fashion giants was greeted with great excitement from consumers last year.
