Our city is facing rapid growth. Quality development is required to accommodate this growth, and to ensure people love and can afford to live in Auckland.

We imagine a city of strong neighbourhoods.

We work across many neighbourhoods throughout our city – from large, long-term urban regeneration plans to small projects on specific sites – to meet the needs of the city’s long-term growth, including more types of homes people can afford.

We’re Auckland Council’s agent and as such we work alongside other parts of the council, government organisations, businesses and locals to regenerate our city in ways that benefit both our communities and Auckland as a whole.

We optimise returns for council, but at the same time we ensure our buildings contribute positively to their neighbourhoods.

We also manage around $2.6 billion of land and buildings that Auckland Council owns, which we regularly review.

Our name has a long whakapapa

Tame Te Rangi, a representative of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua, gifted us the name Eke Panuku. Eke Panuku is derived from the whakataukī (proverb) Eke Panuku, Eke Tangaroa!, which acknowledges the unseen energies of the land and sea. In te ao Māori, Māori mihi to Tangaroa (Atua of the sea) to inspire success, excellence, and progress.

We have a role in supporting mana whenua as the kaitiaki (guardians) of Tāmaki Makaurau.
