We are proud to announce a night of success at the 2024 Property Council New Zealand Central Property People Awards, which were held in Hamilton, on Thursday 24th October, 2024. CKL director Judith Makinson was honoured with both the Beca Women in Property Award and the prestigious Colliers Project Leaders Supreme Award.
With over 25 years of international experience in transportation engineering, Judith has cemented her reputation as Waikato’s "go-to" expert in property development. The judging panel highlighted her significant impact, stating, "her influence extends beyond her formal role. Judith is a tireless advocate for the property sector and a true industry role model."
CKL was also proud to have sponsored the CKL Property Professional of the Year Award, presented by CKL Director Bevan Houlbrooke. This year’s award was presented to Miko Brouwer of RDT Pacific, recognised for her leadership in fostering iwi partnerships and promoting sustainability initiatives across both residential and commercial developments. The judges noted that “Miko’s leadership is setting a new standard for future leaders in our industry, and her work is leaving a lasting legacy.”
CKL’s involvement in the award-winning Te Rapa Gateway Project was also recognised, with the project team receiving the Harkness Henry Judges’ Choice Award for their role in transforming 60 hectares of farmland into a dynamic industrial park. This large-scale development has reshaped Hamilton’s employment landscape and is set to drive economic growth in the Waikato region for years to come.
As a team, we are incredibly proud of these achievements, which highlight CKL’s ongoing commitment to delivering award-winning, best-practice solutions for a better New Zealand.
Congratulations to all the winners on the night!
