About us

We bring places to life

For more than three decades, we’ve invested in and developed some of New Zealand’s leading property assets. Now we’re drawing on all our experience and expertise to take us into the future, creating the places for tomorrow's communities, today. Spaces that inspire Kiwis to interact with one another and with the world around them, where living, working, shopping, and entertainment merge seamlessly, and people, businesses and the environment all thrive.

OUR PURPOSE

Creating places where people connect and thrive

What does our purpose mean in practice? It’s creating places where people can connect, spend time, and feel part of something bigger. Places that bring together homes, workplaces, shopping, dining, and green spaces in a way that feels easy and natural. Each element plays its part, working together to support how people live, work, and move through their day.

We’re bringing this to life across our portfolio, from the continued evolution of Sylvia Park, LynnMall and The Base, to new communities like Drury. In every location, we focus on thoughtful design, strong partnerships, and long-term thinking, so the places we create continue to grow and meet the needs of the people and communities around them.

Overview

A diverse property portfolio

We focus on a high-quality, retail-led portfolio, centred on some of New Zealand’s most productive shopping centres and supported by complementary mixed-use assets. With a strong emphasis on Auckland and the economic golden triangle, we’re well placed to serve growing catchments and continue evolving these destinations over time.

Our tenant mix reflects this focus, anchored by leading national and international retailers and complemented by office, service, and residential tenants. This breadth and quality of tenancy supports consistent demand and underpins resilient, long-term income.

Strategy

Driving business performance

Our ambition is to become New Zealand's leading creator and retail-led destinations, delivering superior experiences and returns. We'll do this through a four-pillar strategy designed to drive business performance and create value for our shareholders, and other stakeholders.

01

Assets

We own and operate a portfolio of the best retail-led mixed-use assets in the best locations.

High-quality assets in the right locations are the foundation of Kiwi Property’s performance and long-term resilience. This pillar defines what we own, where we invest, and how our assets create enduring value.

02

Capital

We actively manage the balance sheet and allocate capital with discipline to fund growth and deliver superior returns.

Disciplined capital management underpins Kiwi Property’s ability to grow while protecting shareholder value. This pillar defines how we manage risk, maintain flexibility, and allocate capital to its highest and best use.

03

Customer

We deliver compelling experiences that meet the evolving needs of customers and tenants.

Customer experience is a key differentiator in a highly competitive market. This pillar reflects our focus on creating destinations that people choose to visit and tenants choose to be part of.

04

Capability

We operate a high-performing organisation with the people and systems to deliver consistently and adapt with confidence.

Capability is the foundation that enables every other pillar to succeed. It covers our people and culture, systems and processes, and how efficiently we operate. We focus on consistent performance and adaptability to deliver our strategy with confidence.

History

Bringing places to life for 30 years

Kiwi Income Property Trust was established in 1992 by co-founders Ross Green and Richard Didsbury, and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange in December 1993.

Since then, the organisation has reached a number of significant milestones, including the acquisition of the Vero Centre in 2001 and the completion of Sylvia Park shopping centre in 2007. The business underwent internalisation in 2013 and corporatisation a year later, resulting in the creation of Kiwi Property Group, as we know it today.
