Kiwi Property
Kiwi Property is one of the largest listed property companies on the New Zealand Stock Exchange and we're all about creating exceptional places, with and for exceptional people! We’ve been around for more than 30 years and we proudly own and manage a portfolio of real estate, comprising some of New Zealand’s best shopping centres and prime office buildings. Founded in 1992, we listed on the New Zealand stock Exchange in December 1993 as Kiwi Income Property Trust, New Zealand's first listed property trust. In December 2013, we internalised our management and in December 2014, we moved from a trust to a company structure. At the same time, we changed our name to Kiwi Property. Kiwi Property invests only in New Zealand real estate, owning a portfolio core retail and office assets located across the country. Our objective, which has served investors well for the past two decades, has not changed: we remain committed to providing investors with a secure, reliable investment in New Zealand property, and we will continue to target superior risk-adjusted returns over time through the ownership and active management of a diversified, high-quality portfolio.
