A Decade of Innovation

ABOUT US

New Ground Capital works with institutional and wholesale investors to create, finance and manage housing investments across New Zealand.

Since 2014, we have developed an integrated platform spanning investment management, fund and mandate creation, project origination, development delivery, asset management and impact reporting. This enables us to create housing investment opportunities that deliver attractive financial outcomes while addressing some of New Zealand's most pressing housing challenges.

Today, our activities span Build-to-Rent, affordable housing, community housing, specialist care housing and progressive home ownership. We work alongside councils, iwi, community housing providers, developers and government agencies to identify opportunities, structure solutions and deliver housing outcomes that might otherwise struggle to attract investment or reach delivery.

Our experience as investment managers, developers, development managers and asset managers allows us to bridge the gap between capital and delivery. By integrating these capabilities within a single platform, we are able to align investor objectives with long-term housing outcomes and create enduring value for investors, residents and communities alike.

OUR TEAM

Dedicated experts
with a proven record of success.

Experienced investors, developers and operators united by a common purpose.

New Ground brings together expertise from investment management, banking, development, property, governance and housing delivery. Our team works across the full investment lifecycle, from origination and structuring through to delivery, asset management and reporting.

We believe successful housing investments require more than capital alone. They require strong partnerships, disciplined execution and a long-term commitment to both investors and communities.
