BeforeAfter
Building beautiful developments that incorporate innovation & design.
We believe that owning a home that you can be proud of, an investment that increases your wealth, or a space where you can grow your business shouldn’t be so difficult. That’s why we carry the same unwavering commitment to quality and affordability through every NZ property we build.
Our Why.
We have a dream.
We will develop our cities with beautiful homes that are affordable to buy, affordable to live in and affordable to maintain.
Everyone that works towards it can buy the property they live in and property for investment, creating affordable homes for others. We want these people to become wealthy for themselves, their families and their communities. Our homes will be located where we can live work and play. Creating happier and healthier communities that can focus on doing the things they love. Through stopping the sprawl of our population we can protect our natural environment and have it grow even better than we could imagine.
This all starts with the homes we create together.

Our relationships with contractors and customers are build on trust.
Our relationships with contractors and customers are build on trust. Buying quality real estate in New Zealand can be challenging: the prices are high and the pickings are slim, whether you’re looking for a home or investment. Williams Corp aims to make it easier by building high quality, affordable properties for everyone – from commercial, residential to first home buyers. This approach has made us the largest and most trusted property developer in Christchurch.
We are passionate about the communities where we build our developments.
At Williams Corporation we are committed to building the most liveable country. We are passionate about the communities we build our developments in and love to do our bit. Whether it’s donations, environmental responsibility or giving our time we aim to enrich the communities we build in, and the lives of those that live there.
