by Leave a Comment

435 Devon Ltd, directed by and part-owned by David Bruce Crow of Inglewood and part-owned by his brother Steve Crow (50%) and wife Carolyn Rose Crow (40%), has lost control of the former New Plymouth RSA Strandon property it purchased for $1.9 Million in 2008. (David Crow who owns 10% of 435 Devon Ltd is also director of Buildwise Ltd (In Liq) that was put into liquidation last year owing creditors hundreds of thousands of dollars).

Following two defaults by 435 Devon Ltd on its monthly mortgage interest payments on 6 July and 6 August 2010, PMIT Nominees Ltd, which holds the first mortgage ($375,000) over the property, has put it up for mortgagee auction (on site) at 1.30 pm on 15th September 2010. Advertised as a “Rare Iconic Property” by First National Real Estate, it can be viewed on line at:

Backlash Ends Sexpo Plans

Boobs on Bikes and the Erotica Lifestyles Expo are not coming to New Plymouth this year following a public backlash.

“It was going to happen but with all the controversy we’ve been copping and all the negatives from everywhere, it’s not happening now,” Erotica’s owner and porn mogul Steve Crow said from Auckland yesterday.

Steve Crow and his Inglewood brother, David Crow, bought the New Plymouth and Districts RSA at Strandon and also bailed out the debt-ridden club last year.

The two are planning an extensive development for the site, named the Te Ara project.

Amid negative reaction, Steve Crow last month promised the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce that the site would not be converted into a brothel, strip club, adult shop or “anything at all to do with the sex industry”.

But Mr Crow’s Erotica lifestyles expo website advertises a three-day expo at New Plymouth’s Te Ara at 434 Devon St East for $20 a head in November. When contacted by the Taranaki Daily News yesterday, Mr Crow admitted that the expo, which would have been at Te Ara, included strip shows.

However, recent bad publicity and a public backlash from New Plymouth people have caused him to pull the pin.

“I just think it’s going to backfire if we do,” Mr Crow said.
