Ngāi Tahu Property

For generations, the land has shaped the culture and identity of Ngāi Tahu. Our history and traditions are recorded in place names, mountains, rivers, lakes, and oceans, ensuring that the footsteps of our ancestors remain forever upon the landscape. The land and our relationship with it is one of the foundations for the future of Ngāi Tahu. Through our property developments and investments, we strive to honour that enduring relationship.

We have residential developments in Christchurch and Auckland and have developed commercial properties throughout Te Waipounamu. We have invested in prime commercial properties, leasing a number of these to the Crown, and local authorities such as councils. Ngāi Tahu Property also manages the Right of First Refusal (RFR) process on behalf of the iwi.
