THE DEVELOPER

Templeton Group is an ambitious developer of places that suit people, their families and aspirations. Their in-depth experience, attention to detail, ideas for how to turn property into paces for people and our passionate team means Templeton is one of New Zealand’s largest and strongest property developers.

Templeton was founded by Nigel McKenna, who, over his 35 years as a developer, has, along with his team delivered award-winning developments around New Zealand. Templeton Group and the people within it have a true passion for property and have delivered some of the best sustainable master planned communities, apartment developments, hotels, retail precincts and homes. Notable projects include Lighter Quay, Beaumont Quarter and the Viaduct Harbour Waterfront. The latter project gave us The Sebel Hotel along with the waterfront dining precinct, featuring Soul Bar & Restaurant.

Over the decades, Nigel and his teams have consistently won top awards from both national and internationally recognised organisations and institutions. And, this recognition varies from awards for new ideas, such as master planned communities that recognise the changing shape of cities, through to being recognised by the industry for protecting the character of historic buildings and improving them for the decades to come.

Templeton’s vision is one where people’s dreams and aspirations for property are put first. Templeton Group builds places for people, and their vision recognises the individuality of people. Their development vision, whether it is a 5-star hotel, an apartment complex, a master-planned community or an individual home, is always carefully narrated, planned and executed with an attention to detail that is rarely seen in the property world.
