Dunedin Office

Colliers International’s Dunedin and Queenstown offices operate as one entity, providing market-leading commercial real estate services throughout Otago and Southland. Led by managing director Alastair Wood, the combined business takes a regional approach, while still retaining the important local, personal service provided to clients.

The larger combined business employs over 20 staff covering four core areas of expertise: commercial and industrial sales and leasing; investment sales in the student accommodation market; valuation and consultancy services and commercial property management (managing in excess of $140 million worth of properties). The business is arguably the pre-eminent full-service commercial property consultancy in the lower South Island.

The Dunedin office is led by Dean Collins, with Wood providing strategic direction. A key focus is the Dunedin university investment division, led by Matt Morton. This division recently completed the largest private investor to private investor sale in the Dunedin student investment market in the past five years: 588 and 590 Castle Street at a 7.3% gross yield.

Other recent successes for the wider Otago and Southland business include the successful close in 2011 of Colliers International’s fifth largest commercial property transaction in the whole of New Zealand.
