Build-to-rent

As one of New Zealand’s leading property companies, we are embracing the future, so people can live better. Build-to-rent is a new approach to residential accommodation where corporate landlords develop, own and manage homes and apartments specifically for long-term rental.

This exciting model offers tenants a fresh perspective on living, combining the flexibility and convenience of renting, coupled with stability that comes from knowing a place is yours. It's a customer-centric model, that has the potential to become an important part of the country's housing equation and Kiwi Property's future. 

With Resido, we’re creating places Kiwis want to call home and can live life to the fullest. Construction of our first build-to-rent development is underway at Sylvia Park and resource consent has already been granted for a mixed-use tower at LynnMall. With potential for around 1,800 apartments across these sites, we’re bringing Resido to life with a focus on customer experience and in locations where people want to live.

As one of New Zealand’s leading property companies, we’re professional place makers, who understand what it takes to create a community that offers residents a high-quality lifestyle.

Already successful overseas, build-to-rent is one of the largest property asset classes in the US, and growing rapidly in markets like the UK and Australia.

Renting is also on the rise in New Zealand, driven by increased migration, reduced construction levels and high house prices. Build-to-rent has the potential to play an important role in New Zealand’s housing solution, offering Kiwis access to quality accommodation, and long-term leases. Resido isn’t just for Millennials and Gen Zers though, offering downsizers and retirees an alternative to the responsibilities of home ownership, in favour of a relaxed, carefree lifestyle.
