University of Auckland Business School staff, students and their families and industry representatives gathered for a glittering night of celebration at the annual Property Awards ceremony held on Tuesday, 5 July 2022 at the prestigious Hilton Auckland.

This evening is always a highlight of the Property calendar, and this year was no exception. Guests mingled in the elegant Anchorage Room at the Hilton, before Professor Deborah Levy, Head of Department of Property, spoke memorably about the year’s successes and congratulated students for their achievements.

Later on in the night, eager bidders took part in a lively auction, introduced by John Schellekens and Chagalle Ellis of PwC New Zealand and facilitated by auctioneer John Bowring.

The formal programme for the evening culminated in the highly anticipated awards ceremony celebrating the department’s best and brightest minds.
