Director | Development ManagerLeads development decisions from site acquisition through to delivery and sale, and stays accountable for a project from the moment a site is identified.
Creston Property is an Auckland property development and residential construction team with hands-on experience across the full life of a project - because successful developments aren't driven by one discipline alone. Strategy, design, budget, and construction practicality have to work together from start to finish, not sit in separate hands.
Because we develop, build, and sell our own projects, we think like owners, not just contractors working to someone else's brief. We know exactly where margin is made and where it's lost - which is what lets us build at a genuinely competitive price without cutting into quality.
More than that, we're pedantic about quality. From early feasibility all the way through to the final finish, we don't compromise on the result - the same standard you can see applied in our completed projects and in the Tudor Residences showcase.

Leads development decisions from site acquisition through to delivery and sale, and stays accountable for a project from the moment a site is identified.

Brings architectural design and hands-on construction delivery to every build - responsible for closing the gap between what's drawn and what's actually buildable.

Shapes how projects are positioned, presented, and brought to market, and builds the systems that keep the team's marketing and content consistent as the business grows.

Brings 30+ years of construction oversight, delivery control, and risk management - the practical, on-the-ground judgement calls a build depends on.

Brings 30+ years of property sourcing, investment judgement, and opportunity assessment - typically the first person to assess whether a site is worth taking to feasibility.

Approval Track Record
for projects we take from concept through to delivery.
Most Auckland developments involve three parties who rarely talk to each other early enough: a developer who starts the project, a design and consenting team, and a builder who only joins once the drawings are done. Every handover between them is a place cost, quality, or timeline can quietly slip - and by the time it shows up, it's expensive to fix.
We built Creston Property to close those gaps. From feasibility and land deals through to design, consenting, construction, and delivery, everything sits with one accountable team - which means stronger decisions earlier, and a finished result that matches what was promised at the start.
That's the difference in practice: landowners and developers get a construction partner who understands the numbers behind a project, not just the drawings. Investors get fewer unknowns between commitment and completion. Homeowners and buyers get a finished home that matches what they were shown.

What you see in the plan
is what gets built.
Because we develop, build, and deliver our own projects, we're the ones accountable for the result - not a contractor who's moved on to the next job.

Creston Property operates across four connected parts of the property development lifecycle. Clients typically come to us through one of these first before seeing the value of the full offering.

Before land is purchased or capital committed, we run a fixed-price feasibility review to test whether a site, concept, or opportunity works financially and practically. It is no obligation, credited back if you continue, and the clearest place to confirm a project stacks up before bigger decisions are made.

Once a project is underway, we hold the full picture together across programme, budget, consenting risk, design decisions, and the trade-offs that appear between buying a site and settling a sale. This is the discipline our leadership team has built the business around.

Rather than handing a design to a third-party builder and hoping the render matches the result, we run construction delivery in-house. The team responsible for the build has been involved since feasibility, removing handover risk and closing the gap between plan and reality.

A development is not finished when the last board is nailed on. We manage the process through to sale or handover for homeowners, investors, and social housing providers, carrying projects through the final relationship-based decisions that shape the outcome.
Different clients need different things from a developer - here's how we work with each.
We help unlock the value of land through clear feasibility, trusted advice, and full-cycle delivery.
We deliver well-structured projects with disciplined execution, transparent costing, and realistic risk management.
We build quality homes and townhouses in locations people want to live in, with delivery that matches the promise.
We partner on residential outcomes that create long-term community value, durability, and certainty.
