As data becomes more available and less well-known property types become more established, investors are increasingly looking to diversify their portfolios and gain access to the different risk-and-return profiles these sectors can potentially offer. In a constrained property environment, investors and developers with an understanding of the macroeconomic drivers that influence the development of commercial property in a country stand to benefit the most. This includes the knowledge of the economics underpinning financing and valuing commercial property, including valuation theory explored in a commercial property context, and the use of financial modeling to forecast returns.
The Financing and Valuing Commercial Property Professional Certificate program from the University of Cape Town (UCT) provides a sound understanding of the economics underpinning the investing in commercial property, as well as insight into the specialized tools required for property valuation.
Guided by UCT faculty with a knowledge of property feasibility analysis, valuation, and property finance, the program offers theoretical perspectives and practical approaches to commercial property investment. Understand different types of commercial properties, analyze the market, and discover investment vehicles. Finally, explore a broad overview of the South African listed property market and how it can be leveraged as an investment opportunity.
