What The Property Group does

The Property Group Limited (TPG) is a privately held, New Zealand-owned property and RMA planning consultancy founded around 1999, headquartered in Wellington with 13 offices nationwide and a team of over 180 staff. The firm serves government agencies — including local councils, central government bodies, and the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (a 20+ year preferred supplier relationship) — alongside private sector clients across energy, retail, iwi/Māori organisations, and community housing. Its service portfolio comprises eleven integrated lines: property advisory, RMA planning, urban regeneration, development projects advisory, GIS solutions, local government advisory, statutory services, housing and community, infrastructure advisory, energy advisory, and spatial planning.

The firm's technology layer is built on the ESRI GIS platform — including ArcGIS City Engine and ArcGIS Urban — integrated with Autodesk Building Information Modeling to deliver 3D visualisations, real-time GIS web application dashboards, and bespoke Property Intelligence Database solutions for clients managing asset, lease, and statutory data. TPG's operational differentiator is its in-house legal team of nearly 20 legal executives and corporate counsel, a capability it describes as unique among New Zealand infrastructure property consultancies and one that underpins its statutory services line covering Public Works Act, Crown Land, Māori Land, and Treaty Settlement negotiations.

Commercially, TPG operates as a sales-led B2B consultancy on a fee-for-service model, with engagements priced on a quote basis and delivered as project work or retainer arrangements. The largest team of LINZ accredited land acquisition and disposal consultants in the country, the firm is ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified. It maintains no software product, no public pricing, and no disclosed parent company or external institutional shareholders, with ownership appearing to rest with founding shareholders and a board comprising executive and independent directors.
