Mike Greer Commercial

What Mike Greer Commercial does

Mike Greer Commercial is a New Zealand construction company headquartered in Christchurch (85 Montreal Street, Sydenham) with a regional office in Auckland (128b Ponsonby Road, Grey Lynn). Established in 2016 as the commercial arm of the Mike Greer group of companies — whose sister company Mike Greer Homes has operated for over 30 years — the company delivers multi-unit residential, commercial, retirement village, and social/community housing projects across both the North and South Islands. Its client base spans central government (Kāinga Ora), major aged-care operators (Bupa New Zealand, Qestral Corporation, Radius Care, Oceania), non-profit and emergency housing providers (Monte Cecilia Trust, Abbeyfield Properties, Presbyterian Church), and private developers.

The company offers four core delivery models: Design and Build, Build Only, Early Contractor Involvement, and Land Development & Financing. Its technical differentiation centres on an off-site pod manufacturing system built in partnership with VIP Frames and Trusses, enabling prefabricated pods to be installed on site in compressed timeframes (3-4 weeks of work delivered in two nights). It also builds to high Homestar and Lifemark sustainability and accessibility ratings, positioning for government and retirement village procurement.

Mike Greer Commercial pursues work through direct enterprise engagement, formal government and private tender processes, and referral channels fed by long-term supply chain relationships. Revenue is project-based on negotiated contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is family-owned, with no disclosed institutional investment or public shareholding, and reports approximately 24 employees supplemented by subcontractors on active project teams.
