Creating long-term property solutions for local, national, and international businesses.

Our story

Epoch was founded in 2001, as a partnership between two family-owned companies, and represents a combined history of more than fifty years of investment activity in commercial property. While retaining a solid base in Christchurch, we have established and continue to manage a portfolio of modern commercial properties, with investments throughout New Zealand.

As a family business, we’re proud of our reputation for proactively building tenant relationships and maintaining prudent, long-term investment holdings. The word ‘Epoch’ marks a period notable in time. We are continually inspired by this sentiment to create stability and support for our clients and tenants in their time and dealings with us.

Our difference

The Epoch difference is in our partnership approach, bringing together the interests of both owners and tenants. It’s a tailored property solutions model designed to meet business needs and evolve with those needs over time.

We are sought out for our knowledge and expertise in the Christchurch commercial property market and have built a reputation for meeting the property needs of many national and international clients.

Our process

Our process begins by establishing regular communication with our tenants. In our initial conversations, we gain an understanding of their business needs, from the basics of operations and maintenance through to evolving property requirements. We work collaboratively to find the most efficient and effective property solutions, from reconfiguration right through to new builds.

We have extensive networks in property and construction and can call on a range of established contacts with expertise in development, design and construction. One of the keys to success is our strong client relationships and our ongoing involvement throughout the tenancy process, from the initial conversation about concepts through to design, development and ongoing property management.
