From Insurance to Real Estate – making new roads into the future
Established in 1977 and now nearing five decades, Kwila has long been a trusted name in Papua New Guinea. The company began as an insurer, serving both corporate and individual clients, and its brand has remained strong across PNG’s diverse communities.
Kwila entered the real estate sector in the late 1980s and, in 2019, made a strategic decision to exit insurance and focus entirely on property. Its presence in the market grew quietly until recently, when the company took direct control of its own portfolio.
From 1 August 2025, Kwila Corporation Limited will manage 129 residential apartments in Port Moresby, firmly establishing itself as a key player in the city’s competitive property market.
As Papua New Guinea celebrates 50 years of Independence, Kwila has launched a dedicated Property Management Team and officially opened the Kwila Corporation Residence Office within the Kwila Kermadec Apartment compound, Section 24, Lot 15, Kermadec Street, Granville.
Kwila offers a portfolio of intimate, modern, and secure properties, delivering high-quality living spaces with refined service at every touchpoint in some of Port Moresby’s most sought-after locations.
Catering to both corporate and private tenants — expatriates, professionals, and families alike — each property blends comfort, convenience, and breathtaking views of the city, sea, and harbour.
With Kwila’s repositioning as a hands-on property management company, it delivers more than just homes: it offers the assurance of a respected home-grown brand, private communities of like-minded residents, and long-term value.
“Our shift from insurance to real estate is a natural progression. At Kwila, we’ve always cared about people’s peace of mind — now we extend that same care into the homes and communities we build and manage," Acting General Manager Sara Hillman said.
“Kwila’s highest priority is providing secure homes and communities, which is one of the most decisive factors shaping the quality of life in PNG," she added.
The company’s mission is clear:
- To create residential communities that combine comfort, convenience, and security.
- To provide stylish living spaces that embrace the country’s tropical lifestyle.
- To deliver professional management and seamless service to all its residents.
