The Capital Property Investor’s Association (Capital PIA) is the Wellington City based association for property investors, landlords and/or property managers providing opportunities for astute people in the this market sector to network at regular events.

As a non-profit incorporated society, the Capital Property Investor’s Association was set up in September 2004 as an initiative of the New Zealand Property Investors Federation (NZPIF); their reason for this was to re-establish and to ensure there was an affiliated Property Investor Association in the political heart of New Zealand. Though Wellington Property Investors Association had been the encumbant NZPIF association, their committee elected to withdraw their affiliation to the NZPIF circa 2002 - 2003; as a result of this a core number of members who wished for the continued benefits offered by the NZPIF stepped up and became the drivers of the new Capital PIA Committee.

In the first year of operation CapitalPIA started with little money in the bank , a very small membership base but with massive goals for its future. However as investors are business oppertunist and a marketing oppertunity presented itself when Capital PIA approached the NZPIF to organise and host the 2006 NZPIF National Conference. It was a huge undertaking but a small and dedicated organising committee worked hard to pull off what was described as the best and biggest NZPIF National Conference ever. Through astute marketing the resulting Conference was so hugely successful, Capital PIA managed to grow its membership by 300% in one year plus as well as gain a healthy balance sheet at the end of the event – all in all an excellent way to cement Capital PIA’s financial security and establish a credible member base.
