For more than three decades, Conrad Properties Group has been an active part of New Zealand’s property development landscape.

Established in 1994, Conrad has grown into one of New Zealand’s leading private property developers, with a portfolio spanning residential, commercial, light industrial and investment property.

Over that time, the group has developed more than NZ$3 billion worth of property and delivered over 5,000 residences, building a substantial track record across Auckland and other key New Zealand markets.

For buyers and investors, that history matters. Property development is ultimately measured not only by what is proposed, but by what has actually been delivered — and Conrad’s completed portfolio can be seen throughout Auckland today.

A Track Record Built Over Time

Conrad’s development history stretches across more than 30 years and multiple property cycles.

The group became particularly well known for apartment development in Auckland, delivering a series of prominent residential buildings across the CBD and surrounding inner-city suburbs.

Projects such as Queens Residences, Park Residences, Victoria Residences, Queens Square, The Vincent and Union & Co form part of an extensive residential portfolio that has helped shape Auckland’s urban landscape.

Rather than being defined by a single development, Conrad’s experience comes from delivering projects repeatedly over a long period of time.

This depth of experience extends across the full development process — from identifying opportunities and project planning through to design, construction, sales and completion.

Residential Development

Residential property remains a major part of Conrad’s development portfolio.

Earlier projects were particularly concentrated around Auckland’s CBD, including developments along Queen Street, Hobson Street, Federal Street, Vincent Street and Victoria Street.

Among them are:

• Queens Residences

• Queens Square

• Queens Park Residences

• Park Residences

• Victoria Residences

• The Vincent

Together, these developments demonstrate Conrad’s long-standing experience in higher-density urban residential property.

More recently, the group’s residential portfolio has expanded further into established Auckland suburbs.

The Hadlow — Grey Lynn

Located on Great North Road in Grey Lynn, The Hadlow represents a more contemporary mixed residential development, combining residences, apartments and retail spaces within one project.

Its location close to the city while remaining within an established residential neighbourhood reflects the growing demand for well-connected urban living outside the traditional CBD apartment market.

The Alberton — Mt Albert

The Alberton is a residential development located on Taylors Road in Mt Albert.

The project introduced a substantial collection of contemporary freehold residences to one of Auckland’s established central suburbs, with access to local amenities, transport connections and nearby employment centres.

The development also represents Conrad’s continued shift into a broader range of residential formats beyond high-rise apartments.

Park Avenue — Ellerslie

Located on Great South Road in Ellerslie, Park Avenue is another example of Conrad’s suburban residential development.

With a lower-density residential format than many of the group’s earlier CBD projects, Park Avenue reflects a broader approach to Auckland housing and the changing preferences of owner-occupiers and investors.

Beyond Residential Property

While apartments and residential development form an important part of Conrad’s history, the group’s portfolio extends well beyond housing.

Over time, Conrad has expanded into commercial, mixed-business and light-industrial property, creating projects designed around changing business and workspace requirements.

The Headquarters — Mt Wellington

Located at Pacific Rise in Mt Wellington, The Headquarters is a modern commercial development designed to provide flexible workspaces within one of Auckland’s most established business areas.

Its location provides convenient connections to major transport routes and Auckland’s wider commercial network.

The Workshops

Conrad has also developed The Workshops, with projects in Mt Wellington and Matakana.

These developments combine modern industrial and commercial spaces with flexible ownership and workspace formats, providing an alternative to more traditional industrial property.

The expansion into this sector demonstrates the breadth of Conrad’s development experience and its ability to operate across different segments of the property market.

A Long-Term Property Perspective

Conrad’s activities are not limited to developing property for sale.

The group also maintains an investment property portfolio, including commercial assets in central Auckland.

Properties such as 22 Fanshawe Street and 210 Federal Street demonstrate a longer-term approach to property ownership alongside the group’s development activities.

This combination of development and investment gives Conrad exposure to different parts of the property lifecycle — from acquisition and development through to ownership and asset management.

It also distinguishes the group from developers whose activities are focused exclusively on completing and selling individual projects.

Experience Behind the Projects

Long-term development requires more than identifying suitable land or producing an attractive design.

It involves coordinating finance, planning, consultants, construction, sales and project delivery over several years.

Conrad’s leadership team brings together experience across these different disciplines.

Shareholders and partners Jamie Hutchens and Ben Dearlove have been involved in the group’s development activities for many years, overseeing the strategic direction and delivery of projects.

They are supported by an established team covering development management, finance, construction, sales, marketing and international business development.

The group also works with experienced architects, consultants, contractors and property professionals across its projects.

This combination of internal experience and external specialist expertise has allowed Conrad to continue delivering developments across a range of property types and market conditions.

More Than Three Decades of Development

Property markets change.

Buyer preferences evolve, construction costs move, financing conditions tighten and new forms of housing and commercial space emerge.

For a developer, the ability to continue operating through these changes is an important part of building a meaningful track record.

Since 1994, Conrad Properties Group has developed thousands of residences and a broad portfolio of residential, commercial and industrial property.

Today, its completed developments can be found throughout Auckland — from CBD apartment towers to suburban residential communities and modern commercial workspaces.

That history provides something particularly valuable for buyers and investors considering a new development: a substantial portfolio of projects that have already been delivered.

With more than 30 years of development experience, over 5,000 residences completed and more than NZ$3 billion of property developed, Conrad Properties Group brings an established track record to each new project it undertakes.
