About

A story of longevity and trust

With a friendship that has withstood the test of time, Eden was born out of a thirty-year-long friendship that co-founders James and Johan built from a young age.

Having met each other through a social soccer club in Auckland they continued on their own paths to building successful careers across property investment, wealth management, construction and consulting, both in New Zealand and overseas. 

When the opportunity arose for them to collaborate on a development and investment business they quickly built a diverse team whose broad spectrum of skills and decades of experience provides a competitive edge and a truly unique proposition.

Founded on a shared vision of solid relationships, quality living spaces and honest business communication, Eden is designed for investors, home buyers and prospective developers looking for the right partner with which to create exceptional living spaces across Aotearoa.
