CBRE New Zealand has stolen the show at the annual RICS awards taking out five awards including commercial agency team of the year.
The awards by the global professional body that promotes and enforces standards across the valuation, commercial real estate, construction and infrastructure industries, was held on Thursday 17 May at Auckland’s Hilton hotel.
Out of the 12 categories, CBRE was awarded:
- Commercial Agency Team of the Year
- Research and Consultancy Team of the Year
- Tenant Advisory/Representation team of the year
- Valuation Team of the Year
- Young Achiever of the Year Award for Anisha Segar (jointly won with James McCafferty from AECOM)
CBRE’s Senior Managing Director for New Zealand, Andrew Stringer says the awards acknowledge the company’s strategy of nurturing its key people, while aiming for a truly broad business.
“Being wholly owned and very connected we’re very focused on doing an incredible job for our clients and this seems to be bearing fruit. But the most satisfying part of it all for me, is achieving a result that underscores the breadth of what we have to offer as a business.
“Anytime you’re dealing with a property asset requires a myriad of strategic decisions and to have this recognition by our peers highlights the depth and breadth of our expertise and relationships to guide clients through the complete process.”
CBRE’s success at the RICS awards comes after the agency was named earlier this month the Best Property Consultancy in New Zealand at the prestigious Asia Pacific Property Awards 2018-2019. This is the fifth time the company has achieved the top accolade.
As Asia Pacific winners, CBRE New Zealand will compete against companies from Europe, Africa & Arabia, the Americas and the UK to be named the ‘World’s Best’ in their field to be held in the International Property Awards, held in December in London.
Also, in the last week CBRE was recognised as Property Graduate Employer of the Year 2018 at The University of Auckland Department of Property Awards, for the second year in a row.
