Nationally, there are 94 finalists spread across 10 categories of the awards.
The South Island entries are three from Dunedin, 12 from Christchurch and one from Nelson.
The Dunedin finalist in two categories is the Stavely Building Apartments, on the corner of Jetty and Bond Sts.
It is in both the Hawkins Construction Heritage and Adaptive Reuses Property Award, and the Arrow International Multi-Unit Residential Property Award categories.
The 136-year-old Stavely Building has been redeveloped and refurbished as an apartment complex, after a fire engulfed the premises in March 2008. It
was purchased in 2010 by city-based developer Bruce Purvis for redevelopment. The property is one of the latest and most prominent buildings in Dunedin's rejuvenated warehouse precinct to be adapted to a new use.
Awards are judged on several levels, including economic and financial factors, project vision, innovation and degree of difficulty, design and construction and sustainability.
In the category of MyTrends Industrial Property Award is the new Chep New Zealand development in Sturdee St, a $4million development, which was done in partnership with Port Otago's property subsidiary Chalmers Properties Ltd.
A new office and warehouse development for ASX listed Brambles New Zealand trading as Chep, to service Otago. The land area of 4658sq m includes a 1154sq m warehouse, 194sq m office, 387sq m canopy, 17 car parks and a yard of 1569sqm.
In the category of RCG Retail Property Award is redevelopment of Nichols Garden Centre, on the corner of Timaru and Teviot Sts.
A vacant industrial building of about 800sq m on the 9039sq m site of the established garden centre, was redeveloped into modern, flexible retail space to expand the garden centre, plus a separate pet shop and cafe.
