China Construction New Zealand – part of the giant China State Construction Engineering Corporation – also plans to bid for the $175 million St James apartment tower contract for a new building on Queen St in Auckland’s CBD.
Both contracts are with the locally- owned Hawkins Group, New Zealand’s second largest builder behind Fletcher Construction, and both projects are for clients with Chinese connections.
China Construction NZ has also expressed interest in the $387.8m four-lane Penlink highway to Gulf Harbour, which has yet to be approved.
