Management

An architect by training, Jeremy joined RCP in 1997 as one of its first employees and has taken on more of the business at each stage, from delivering projects to leading it. That architectural eye is part of why RCP came to stand for the value of design and its careful management, rather than process alone. He has led by example across a myriad of iconic projects, and his expertise lies in the complex, city-shaping developments that redraw a skyline, and the commercial office and workplace at the heart of them.

He is known for the work where design, commercial structure, stakeholder interests and delivery all have to be reconciled, projects like Commercial Bay, which he led from masterplanning through some of the most complex development agreements the city has seen. "Someone once said that architecture is about trying to make the world a little more like our dreams. I've spent years helping to make those dreams a reality. The structures we build mirror our lives as New Zealanders."

We need to build to suit our environment and diverse ways of life, which speak to who we are as people, and what we are as a culture. Building dreams is like creating great theatre. We need to contribute to enjoy this place we live in, and we all have a part to play.

His focus now is where RCP goes next, its people, its embrace of technology and AI, and the responsibility that comes with building for how New Zealanders live and work. He is clear that technology should augment people, not replace them, and he puts real energy into the generation coming through the sector. "We will go well beyond project management as we know it now. The impact of technology and the growing need for social responsibility present exciting opportunities to create a circularity of services that society needs now and well into the future.”
