Commercial Property Investment

Commercial property investment has provided opportunity and security for generations of New Zealanders. It is the purchase of commercial real estate used exclusively for business purposes, such as an office, retail space, or industrial warehouse. Commercial property offers several advantages to investors over residential property investment, including a higher income and additional obligations on tenants to maintain and improve your asset.

Like all investments, commercial property is a long-term investment choice with returns (how much you get back) and yields (earning potential) from commercial property, often outlasting fluctuations in the market environment.

There are a number of ways you can invest in commercial property, whether it be owning one asset yourself or as part of a group (known as direct investing, either alone or in a property syndicate) or investing in shares of commercial property companies. To determine if investing in commercial property is right for you, it is best to seek expert, independent investment advice.

Mackersy Property acquires prime commercial property, negotiates competitive funding and lease terms, and presents them to wholesale investors as high-quality syndicated investments offering superior returns.

Mackersy Property is a commercial property syndicator, meaning it facilitates opportunities for investors to pool their resources and purchase property that meets the criteria developed over a quarter of a century for a good investment. The syndicate may have two investors or many, depending on the investor’s desired level of investment.

Mackersy Property expertly manages the investment process from beginning to end to capture the best returns from commercial property. This involves identifying a great asset with potential for value upside, purchasing the asset or site, securing and managing the best tenant for that property, and proactive attention to ensure that each asset is a strong performing, long-term investment for investors. Additionally, with in-house Treasury specialists, complex bank funding options can be negotiated on behalf of the syndicates. The expertise of the Mackersy Property team is central to the end-to-end commercial property acquisition, investment and management solution Mackersy Property provides to wholesale investors.

Strict investment criteria are applied to each potential acquisition, including:

new or near-new construction

attractive yield

prime location

long term lease (or leases) to a highly reputable tenant (or tenants)

rental growth

The purchase process includes an in-depth due diligence process and negotiation of attractive funding and lease terms for each asset to provide high-yielding and tax-effective investment in top-quality New Zealand commercial real estate.
