Commercial Real Estate Development and Investment – Part B

Commercial real estate covers a broad range of asset types. The core commercial real estate types are offices, retail and industrial. However, there are many more. It also includes assets like healthcare, hotels, childcare centres, self-storage units with some blending into mixed-use developments. Each asset type has its own idiosyncrasies and this course delves into the asset’s details in order to ensure its financial success.

Over my 40-year career, I have undertaken a range of commercial developments, learning along the way, and improving my skills with each project. Some of these projects were my own while others were syndicated developments or working as an architect for other developers. The range and type included small neighbourhood to regional shopping centres, boutique office blocks, hotels and service stations. What I have learnt is that each type of asset class has its nuances but the key fundamentals remain the same, and that is researching what the market is looking for and then develop it according to the results of the research.

If you are considering commercial development as a career, it is, therefore, worthwhile learning and understanding the different types of commercial properties in the market. By understanding these asset types and their specific success factors, it will provide you with various options when looking at a potential development site. For example, a city retail centre could also include an office tower or a hotel, therefore providing a higher return on the land. When it comes to mixed-use developments, especially in urban infill locations, in it is worthwhile studying apartments under my course “residential asset classes”. Many councils see the city centre locations as a mix between retail and residential. Developers who have a good understanding of Commercial developments will be one step ahead of the competition.
