This final year, core subject for the Bachelor of Environments, property major, examines the economic, physical/environmental, financial and legal aspects relating to the analysis of property – both quantitative and qualitative – leading to effective property resource allocation. It draws together the prerequisite analytical approaches required for effective study in the subsequent capstone studio and graduate subjects relevant to high order support for client decision-making within a dynamic commercial property markets context.
This subject is particularly relevant as the basis to commercial (income) property valuation, finance, investment and development feasibility decision-makings. At the core of the subject is a “cash-flow” approach to property resources and analysis. The cash flow method is a technical system which the decision maker often requires, because it explicitly analyses expected cash flow income of a property project over its life cycle or holding period. The risk and return trade-off is studied under the valuation and investment evaluation framework to guide resource allocation choices.
Topics include: property resources, income valuation, commercial property market, DCF modelling, land use and land value, building and costs, cash flow risk and return, enterprise and investment evaluation, capital market and indirect property, cost-benefit analysis and decision-making framework in a property context.
