A family legacy since 1987

Pioneers and leaders

Founded in 1987, the Sanderson Group has built a reputation for creating the country's most desirable retirement villages and operating them with the same amount of care for our residents that we show our own family. We continue to evolve, now also applying our extensive experience to other large-scale developments.

Our project portfolio includes retirement villages, aged care facilities, specialist medical facilities, hospitality, retail, accommodation, education and residential subdivisions.

Our proven expertise across the entire process – from feasibility to design, engineering and earthworks, infrastructure, consents, and construction to completion, including interior fit-out – ensures we consistently deliver to the same high standard, every time.

We are a significant employer of expert advice and labour during construction, and create ongoing local employment when projects become operational.

We remain family-owned and operated, bringing good, honest family values to guide everything we do. Well funded and backed by decades of experience and expertise, we are strongly positioned for new acquisitions, joint ventures, project financing and development opportunities.

We look to the future with the same focus and values that have shaped Sanderson since 1987.

Setting the Sanderson standard

Sanderson Group began in 1987 with a single retirement village and a conviction that this kind of living could be done far better. We became pioneers of luxury retirement in New Zealand — then brought the same standards to residential and commercial development. The throughline, across every project, is care: in how it’s designed, how it’s built, and how it’s run long after handover.
