OUR STORY

McKenzie & Co. Developing great places and people.

We see a future where better environments create great places for people to grow.

AURANGA - AUCKLAND

OUR WHY

At McKenzie & Co., we love land and transforming land into opportunity. It goes beyond building structures for us, it’s about shaping spaces that foster growth, connection, and sustainability for the present, and future generations.

Our human-first approach applies to both how we work together with teams and stakeholders – you’ll find the Directors getting involved in projects too. We’re a collective of dynamic and diverse experts who will grow and adapt with you throughout the development process.

The people (tāngata) who live, work, and play within these places are also front of mind when creating new thriving environments.

It doesn’t stop there – operating on a Quadruple Bottom Line (QBL) means we place importance and actively seek to positively impact four key dimensions in business: our people, profit, planet, and purpose.

We see each project as an opportunity to build a sustainable future with a more holistic lens – drawing on our proven skills, understanding of today’s changing whenua (land), and whakaaro (thinking).

Together, we can transform land into lasting value that serves businesses and communities of Aotearoa.

When done right, these environments can create great places where people can grow to their full potential.

OUR STORY

Established in 2014, McKenzie & Co. was founded on a passion for superior design, building land opportunities, and developing thriving places that people would love. 

We’re led by three of the best in business. Managing Director and Founder, Clayton McKenzie, is a land development specialist and an industry stalwart. James Kitchen, Director and an experienced engineer. James Dufty, a veteran civil engineer, joined the business during its inception and was appointed as a Director in 2021.

With over a decade in business, our brand’s reputation for excellence and value creation has been established, as we consistently act with integrity and to our core values, are forward-thinking and deliver successful outcomes. 

We deeply value the people who work both with and for McKenzie & Co. We’re a dynamic team of diverse and progressive individuals who will grow and adapt with you throughout the project journey.

We ensure the people (tāngata) who live, work, and play within these places are at the forefront when creating new environments. Though it goes beyond building structures for us, it’s about shaping spaces that foster growth, community and connection for present and future generations. 

With every project we take on, we’re intentional about its impact, and see it as an opportunity to build a sustainable future – drawing on our proven skills, understanding of today’s changing whenua (land), and whakaaro (thinking).

We use masterful planning, expert engineering and experienced management to maximise your ROI and land value, without cutting corners.

Remaining true to our core values is also pivotal to us during the process.

Are you ready to transform land into lasting value that serves businesses and communities of Aotearoa?
