Our Humble Beginnings - A Garage Conversion that Sparked a Legacy
Our story started in the early 2000s with a single, modest project: a tiny garage conversion in Papatoetoe.
The profits from that first venture were small, but the wisdom we gained and the passion we cultivated were priceless.
It was the foundation upon which everything was built, and we have never looked back.
Our Evolution - From Renovations to Thriving Urban Communities
From those minor renovation projects, we grew steadily and purposefully. We progressed to demolish-and-build projects, then to a variety of 2 and 3-lot subdivisions. Today, we are proud to deliver medium-to-large scale housing developments of over 30 lots.
Our portfolio now includes freehold standalone homes, terraced housing, and high-end apartment buildings in some of Auckland’s most thriving urban environments.

“We had the land but lacked the development expertise and capital. Sandford Property Group didn't just offer a joint venture; they became true partners. Their vested interest was clear from day one—they were as motivated as we were to create a successful, high-quality development. The process was transparent, and their experience navigating consents and construction was invaluable. We unlocked the equity in our land seamlessly..”
"As a time-poor investor, I wanted to get into property development but was terrified of the pitfalls. Sandford's project management service was the perfect solution. Their proven systems saved me from making costly beginner mistakes. They managed everything from due diligence to the final sign-off, and their network of architects and builders was first-class. They didn't just manage my project; they built my equity and my confidence."
"Buying our terraced home in a Sandford development was the best decision we ever made. You can truly see the thoughtful design they talk about. The layout is both functional and beautiful, maximizing light and space. The quality of the finishes is a cut above, and it feels like a home that will stand the test of time. It’s more than just a house; it’s a place that genuinely enhances our daily life."
“We've partnered with Sandford on multiple projects because of their integrity and collaborative approach. They don't just see a site; they see the full potential and how to mitigate risks effectively. Their long-term track record in Auckland gives us immense confidence. They co-invest alongside us, which means their goals are 100% aligned with ours—delivering a successful outcome for everyone.”
