Property nominations announced
Property Council and Rider Levett Bucknall together with category sponsors are delighted to announce a record 94 nominations who will compete for the top sports in the industry’s most prestigious awards night.
Property Council New Zealand Rider Levett Bucknall Property Industry Awards is a long running and popular event showcasing New Zealand’s finest developments each year.
Chief Judge John Dunn says the judging panel have been struck by the diversity of entries across categories.
“We have seen an exceptional level of initiative and ingenuity being applied across all categories of entries to overcome a wide variety of technical and commercial challenges. In many cases the outcome is outstanding.”
The 94 projects, compared to last years’ 64, are entered across categories ranging from office, retail and education, arts, green and tourism projects through to public buildings, urban land, and industrial and heritage developments in a process that has spanned more than three months.
Property Council chief executive Connal Townsend says seeing leading-edge properties coming out of the regions is encouraging.
“Nothing makes us happier to see top-end buildings in the regions because that is exactly what we want. A regional New Zealand that has the ability to attract skilled workers and retain them by creating business, education, healthcare and retail hubs that are modern and functional.”
The awards are an annual celebration of excellence in property development that shape city landscapes; judged on economic and financial factors, project vision and innovation (including degree of difficulty), design and construction, owner and user satisfaction, and sustainability and efficiency of operation.
All entries will be presented and awarded properties announced at a sold-out black tie awards evening at Vector Arena in Auckland on Friday 12 June.
