Clive Mackenzie is CEO of Kiwi Property, the developer transforming New Zealand's "Golden Triangle" through massive urban projects. Clive believes Sylvia Park will be a self-sustaining satellite city within two decades, in line with a global trend of turning shopping centres into massive, mixed-use metropolitan areas that act as giant spending magnets.

We break down Kiwi Property’s $3B portfolio, and why they’ve sold off some major assets to double down on "fortress" locations. Hear how they secured the only New Zealand locations for retail icons like Zara and IKEA, and the process of developing an entire town, the 50-hectare, 60,000-resident Drury project.

Clive shares why he’s focused on metrics like "sales per square meter", how retail comes down to the survival of the fittest, and why physical stores are thriving thanks to enhanced in-store experiences.
