Established in 1983, UPC built its foundations through ventures in various businesses, including Waikato Milking Systems, MARAC Finance (now Heartland Bank) and others.
Today, the business focuses primarily on long-term industrial property investment and development. UPC holds significant landholdings across premium industrial precincts and is one of the largest private owners of land in Penrose, partnering with tenants to deliver tailored industrial property solutions.
Property Investment
UPC focuses on strategic property assets in Auckland and throughout New Zealand. With over 40 years’ experience in property investment, UPC has acquired extensive land holdings comprising a mix of commercial and industrial land and building ownership, as well as the freehold interest in several leasehold portfolios.
Continued investment and redevelopment of these holdings allows UPC to add value to existing assets on an ongoing basis. UPC also holds a strong mandate to acquire large commercial and industrial assets nationwide. Being privately owned gives UPC the flexibility to be nimble, offering tenants a range of solutions to suit their business needs, including joint ventures and other investment structures.
Property Development
As a strategic investor in long-term land assets, UPC has positioned itself to capitalise on well-located property in some of Auckland and Hamilton’s most sought-after industrial and commercial hubs.
UPC is committed to delivering state-of-the-art commercial and industrial design-and-build packages that meet the needs of growing New Zealand businesses, with a flexible approach to varying lease and building requirements. This underpins UPC’s philosophy of building long-term tenant relationships and providing ongoing support for future premises needs.
