ABOUT THE CHOW BROTHERS
John and Michael’s family immigrated to New Zealand in 1984 from Hong Kong. They started their working life as teenagers, working 12 hour shifts in their parents’ takeaway food outlet in Wellington. From the first accidental foray into repurposing an undervalued commercial asset, the brothers then tried their hand at converting other unoccupied buildings into car parks, warehouses and offices.
Property remains their core business, constituting 90% of the brothers’ combined assets, with a 39% capital growth in assets since 1999. Prior to acquiring Stonewood Homes, their investment success has been derived from revamping unprofitable commercial buildings and turning them into properties with regular cash flow.
John and Michael have been on NBR’s Rich List for the last 3 years and they have publicly declared their plans to grow to a $1 billion empire by 2020.
