    They bought the kiwi bacon building on new north road which on its own was $33m. Not sure what other parcels they purchased but none of the corridor is what I would call cheap.

      The government has good reason to talk up the price of the project to date, but if they sell the land bought then there’s a good chance of recouping a lot of that $250 million. Depending on the timing of buying the land, they might get more than $250 million for selling it 😆
