What happens when your life's work no longer makes sense to scale? Gary Gordon didn’t sell—he shut it down. And in doing so, created space for what’s next.
Gary Gordon is a seasoned property developer who has built over 2,000 homes across 100+ projects. Known for pioneering community-first housing and innovative development models, he made the rare and bold decision to shut down his thriving company, Solution Street, in 2022—when most were still scaling.
Episode Highlights:
From 18-storey towers to 2,000+ homes—Gary’s journey in NZ property development
Why he walked away from a growing company in the middle of a boom
What makes a property business *unsellable*—and why most are
Building for first-home buyers, not investors
Meditation, meaning, and life after a business exit
How the lessons from Joe Dispenza changed his approach to life and leadership
What You’ll Learn:
In this episode, you’ll hear the story behind one of New Zealand’s most values-driven property developers—why he shut down a company that was still making money, and what it taught him about ego, risk, and legacy. Whether you're building a property portfolio, scaling a business, or navigating a personal pivot, Gary’s reflections will challenge what success looks like—and how to walk away with integrity.
