Regional Roots

Ron Mackersy founded Mitchell & Mackersy Lawyers in Dunedin in 1982. Throughout the 1980s and beyond, the firm often provided funding for property purchases through its nominee mortgage company.

Mitchell & Mackersy proposed applying funds to purchase commercial properties, creating syndicates of owners, and in 1996, the 'Mitchell Mackersy Lawyers' property syndication business began. The company grew in the South Island, establishing an office in Christchurch in 1992 and Queenstown in 1994. By the early 2000s, the company became the end buyer of more than 60 Calder Stewart buildings.

As the Mitchell Mackersy Lawyers property portfolio grew, a management company was needed to run the property management side of the business for the syndicates. In 2010, Maori Hill Property Limited (later MHP) was incorporated.

In 2020 a merger and rebranding exercise of the then Mitchell Mackersy Lawyers and Maori Hill Property resulted in the formation of Mackersy Property, a commercial property syndication and management business. Mackersy Legal was also incorporated as part of the same exercise and was subsequently sold to Duncan Cotterill in 2021.

In 2022, Mackersy Property acquired GBG, a commercial property syndicator in Hamilton, adding a fifth office to its stable.

As the Mackersy Property portfolio grew, so did the company's drive to recruit the best. With five offices, a staff of 45, and strong industry connections, the Mackersy Property team of Asset, Property and Facilities Managers, acquisitions, treasury and finance experts engage a strategy of accumulating top-quality assets and personal service for their investors. To ensure a close connection with investors and tenants, each of Mackersy Property’s directors lead teams within the business.
