Investment with us
JC Project Consulting – Investment Partnerships
At JC Project Consulting, we bring together the people, capital, and expertise needed to deliver development projects that are commercially successful and socially impactful. We do not serve as the investment vehicle; instead, we act as the strategic lead and integrator. SPV's are set up as to suit the development opportunity.
We ensure that every element of a project, from governance and finance to delivery and stewardship, is aligned for success.
Our role is to design, structure, and manage projects to maximise capital returns and safeguard long-term value. Investors who partner with us gain access to opportunities that are:
• Well-structured and investable – with financial frameworks that balance risk, return, and flexibility.
• Governed with discipline and transparency – ensuring accountability and alignment of interests at every stage.
• Positioned for early-stage entry – allowing investors to participate from inception, when the potential for higher returns is greatest.
• Delivered with stewardship – embedding cultural integrity, community benefit, and intergenerational outcomes alongside financial performance.
By partnering with JC Project Consulting, investors are not simply funding a project. They are engaging with a team that brings together the vision, governance, capital pathways, and delivery expertise. This integrated approach ensures every project is more than a financial opportunity; it is a legacy of resilience, prosperity, and impact.

Mahesh Kupse
I’ve spent over 14 years seeing property from every angle.
I’ve worked on the client, consultant, and contractor side. Delivered affordable homes for CORT Community Housing and Kāinga Ora. Led project management offices for CBRE Asia Pacific and Oyster Property Group. Managed multi-site projects and major infrastructure development for Auckland Airport and Auckland Council and more.
Having delivered $300m+ worth of property across my career, I’ve built a deep understanding of how projects come to life; from the technical and strategic, to the creative and collaborative.
Today, I bring all these experiences and perspectives together as the Founding Director of Affine Projects.
Launched in 2026, Affine Projects is a boutique property development studio where partnerships and people come first, and we achieve outstanding results for every side of the equation.
From earliest concept to final completion, our expertise spans residential, commercial, office and retail – project, development and programme management, all the way through to property advisory.
