烟草在线据《澳大利亚人报》报道编译　　英美烟草公司已经为其坐落于悉尼东部占地16公顷的Pagewood工厂用地进行了20多次询价，据房地产商预计，此次招标的价格有可能高达1.2亿澳元。

　　包括美利通（Meriton）、皇冠（Crown）和Payce在内的6家澳大利亚知名房产开发商，都在积极争取这座位于Eastgardens购物中心以北的工厂项目。

　　近期，博坦尼（Botany）地方议会批准了重新规划此地的住宅楼盘后，据新的整体规划设计显示，此处将修建1700多套居民住房。

　　房地产集团Archerfield作为英美烟草的询价代理，发起了一个场外交易意向竞标活动。英美烟草将于本周（8.19-8.25）公布中标的公司名称。

　　英美烟草计划拆除Pagewood现存的厂房建筑，仅保留一些行政管理工作的相关设施，而把所有的生产设备搬离此地。

　　新的整体规划设计，是联排别墅和高层公寓楼的建筑组合，公寓楼高14层；在这片土地的最南端，还有其他商业及购物场所以及非居民住宅使用的建筑，将来，这些建筑将与Eastgardens购物中心连成一片。

　　其中，还会修建镇中心的公共广场和中心公园，以及配套的商店、咖啡和餐馆等建筑设施。

　　目前，这片地只是一个大型的停车场。

　　Archerfield集团目前没有对《澳大利亚人报》8月14日的采访做出任何回应。

Australia: British American Tobacco's Pagewood Plant Tipped to Sell for $120m

　　BRITISH American Tobacco has fielded more than 20 inquiries for its 16.8ha Pagewood site in Sydney's east, with property executives expecting the holding to fetch as much as $120 million.

　　High-profile developers including Meriton, Crown and Payce are among six shortlisted parties vying for the site just north of the Eastgardens Shopping Centre.

　　The property has masterplan consent for more than 1700 dwellings, following a recent rezoning by Botany Council allowing residential development.

　　Property group Archerfield is acting for BAT and is running a select off-the-market expressions-of-interest campaign. The winning bidder is expected to be named next week.

　　British American Tobacco plans to demolish much of its existing plant on the Pagewood site, retaining some administration facilities, while moving manufacturing facilities offshore.

　　The masterplan is for a mix of townhouses and apartment blocks up to 14 storeys high, with shops, commercial buildings and other non-residential uses at the south end of the site, with potential for integration with Eastgardens Shopping Centre.

　　It would include a public town square and central park lined with shops, cafes and restaurants.

　　The site presently houses a large car park.

　　Archerfield did not return The Australian's calls yesterday. Enditem
