The Property Case Competition gives students the experience of consulting for a property development firm or company on the best use and highest return for a property. Students will be given 48 hours to create a proposal and will pitch their ideas on how to develop the property to a panel of judges.
At the commencement of the competition, teams will receive an electronic copy of the case document via email. Teams will create a powerpoint presentation and written proposal within 48 hours based on the information provided in the case and their own additional research.
Each team will give a presentation on their proposal with four teams selected for the final round. The judging panel will consist of representatives from the property industry. You have the opportunity to create solutions with impact. Members of the finalist teams will be eligible for selection for the International Property Case Competition team for 2019 if they are not in their final year of study.
