Commercial Property

Income-producing commercial assets.

About the sector

Why this matters for New Zealand investor residency.

New Zealand commercial property — industrial/logistics, office and retail — offers income-producing yields that have historically outrun residential, with prime yields around 5–7%. After the 2023–24 correction, transaction volumes rose ~50% year-on-year in H1 2025 as interest rates ease.

prime Auckland office yields (CBRE): ~6.5–7%
Auckland industrial vacancy (CBRE/JLL): ~1.6–2.2%
commercial sales over $5M in 2024: NZ$3.7B

Why invest

What makes this sector compelling.

Yield premium

Prime Auckland industrial trades ~5–6% and prime office ~6.5–7.0%, well above sub-4% residential gross yields (CBRE).

Industrial scarcity

Auckland industrial vacancy is just ~1.6–2.2% — among the lowest globally — with rent growth forecast at 3–4%/yr (CBRE).

Recovering market

Commercial/industrial sales above NZ$5M reached ~NZ$3.7B in 2024; H1 2025 was ~50% above the prior year.

International confidence

~18% of $5M+ deals in 2024 involved international buyers; APAC buying intentions are near a decade high (CBRE).

Honest considerations

What to weigh before committing.

The investor pathway requires actively operating an established business — passive property alone doesn’t qualify, and a business’s real-estate value is excluded from the qualifying amount.
Quoted yields are prime/headline and vary by tenant, lease and location; verify independently and take specialist immigration-legal advice on structure.
