Unlock Your Land's Full Potential with a Vested Partner
You hold a valuable asset—land with untapped potential. But navigating the complexities of development, from council consents to construction, requires expertise you may not have in-house. The path from raw land to profitable subdivision or a completed development is filled with financial risk and regulatory hurdles.
Sandford Property Group offers a better way. Our Strategic Joint Venture model is designed for landowners, investors, and equity partners who want to maximise their return without bearing the sole burden. We become your vested partner, combining your land with our 15+ years of Auckland development expertise, capital strength, and proven systems. Together, we share the risk and the reward, transforming your property into a successful, high-value project.
Our Joint Venture Partnership Model
A Sandford JV is a true collaboration built on transparency and aligned goals.
You Contribute: The land—your key asset with significant latent equity.
We Contribute: Full development expertise, end-to-end project management, access to capital, and our network of top-tier consultants and builders.
We Share: Both the risks and the rewards proportionally, ensuring we are equally motivated to deliver an optimal financial and quality outcome.
This is not a simple land sale; it’s a strategic alliance to unlock the highest and best use of your property.
We are actively acquiring land with development potential from private sellers and landowners.
Our Integrated Development & Subdivision Expertise
A core component of maximising land value is strategic subdivision. Our JV service seamlessly integrates this critical phase.
We manage the entire subdivision lifecycle:
Feasibility & Planning: Assessing zoning, servicing, and geotechnical constraints under the Auckland Unitary Plan to determine the optimal lot yield.
Design & Consent: Managing surveyors, planners, and engineers to design the subdivision and secure all necessary Resource and Engineering Approvals.
Infrastructure & Title Creation: Overseeing earthworks, service installation, and the legal process to create new, freehold Certificates of Title.
Beyond the Title: From Lots to Completed Homes
Our unique advantage is taking the project further. Once new titles are created, we don’t stop. We can seamlessly transition into the design and construction of quality homes—townhouses, terraces, or standalone dwellings—on the new lots. This integrated “land-to-home” approach captures the full development margin, delivering significantly greater returns than a simple land subdivision alone.
Is Your Land a Candidate for a JV?
We seek partnerships on sites with clear potential. Ideal candidates include:
Freehold land in Auckland with capacity for subdivision or multi-unit development.
Landowners who want to realise their asset’s value but lack development capital or expertise.
Investors seeking a hands-off, professionally managed development opportunity with superior risk-adjusted returns.
Unsure of your land’s potential? We provide a no-obligation preliminary feasibility assessment.

Popular questions
How is a JV better than selling my land outright?
Selling means you receive a one-time price, leaving the significant development profit with the buyer. A JV allows you to retain an ownership stake and share in the full value created through subdivision and construction.
What if my land has an existing mortgage or loan?
This is common. We can structure the Joint Venture to address existing debt, often using the project’s development financing or sales proceeds to clear it as part of the process.
Do you only work on large parcels of land?
Our expertise spans boutique sites (under 10 units) to large-scale developments (30+ lots). We assess each site on its unique potential.
Who are your typical JV partners?
We work with a diverse range of partners, including private landowners, high-net-worth investors, and equity firms.
