About Skyway
Skyway Body Corporate was established in 2003 as we saw the need to improve and lift the professionalism in managing Properties under the Unit Titles Act. In preparation for the Unit Titles Act in 2010, Skyway divested its Property Management Business, to focus on specialising in Body Corporate Management.
Skyway manages a range of Residential and Commercial Properties, as well as a number of Lifestyle Villages. Our properties are located mainly in Christchurch, but also Selwyn, Waimakariri and South Canterbury. All of our team live in these areas, and our connection to our local communities influences our approach to work - infusing it with accountability, care, and a focus on the long term.
In recent years following market changes and increasing requests, Skyway is also now managing Residents Associations & Societies.
Skyway continues to adapt and intends to remain a specialist Canterbury Manager for all types of Multi-Unit and Shared Ownership structures.
Our Values in Practice
At Skyway, our values guide how we operate every day.
Transparency
We communicate openly and clearly. Owners and committees understand not only what is happening, but why. We aim to remove unnecessary complexity and provide straightforward guidance, even if and when we are the bearers of unwelcome news.
Fair and Honest
We act in the best interests of the body corporate as a whole. Where competing views exist, we provide balanced, objective advice grounded in experience and sound judgement, where we look to uphold the interest of all owners equally.
Dedicated
We are present, responsive, and accountable. Each development and property we manage is a community — not a number. You will get to know your Manager and our team, you get to know you and your property.
Choosing Skyway means...
Practical and dependable support, backed by extensive local insight and real experience with Canterbury properties. We prioritise clear communication, straightforward financial management, and ease of daily interactions. Our aim is to simplify the process for our owners - keeping everyone informed, addressing issues swiftly, and facilitating confident decision-making.
When you partner with Skyway, you're collaborating with a team that remains engaged from the initial stages of development through to ongoing management once residents move in. Our goal is to ensure the property is set up for long-term success.
Skyway is:
- A manager who values relationships over transactions.
- A team that blends professional expertise with local insight.
- A partner who is transparent, fair, honest, and dedicated.
- A long-term approach that protects your property, your community, and your reputation.
- An organisation providing realistic and competitive pricing.
