BTR is redefining the future of housing in New Zealand. This fast-growing asset class is unlocking new investment, development, and operational models that are reshaping the living sector.

As the leading voice of the property industry, Property Council New Zealand has been instrumental in shaping the BTR framework. Our advocacy has helped secure key policy outcomes, including the restoration of interest deductibility, recognition of Build to Rent as a distinct asset class, and changes to the Overseas Investment Act. Further reforms around eligibility for ‘Investment Boost’ and depreciation for fit-outs are expected soon. We also track quarterly Build to Rent market data via buildtorentnz.co.nz, the sector’s leading insights hub.
