Real Estate Development, Investment, and Management Training Course in Johannesburg, South Africa
Classroom training in Johannesburg · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 3,400
Property value is created in three stages, finding and developing the right asset, financing it soundly and operating it well, and a weak link at any stage costs investors dearly. The week opens with how property markets work, the development process and the roles of landowners, developers, financiers and planners. Investment sessions cover market studies, feasibility appraisals, residual land valuation, cash flow modelling, NPV and IRR. Development topics follow a project from site acquisition and approvals through design, procurement, construction management and sales or leasing.
Property management work addresses leasing, tenant relations, maintenance, operating budgets and asset performance reporting. The final day ties everything into strategic decisions about holding, repositioning or selling assets, along with trends such as PropTech, mixed-use schemes and affordable housing. A single case project runs through the week so you see how early decisions affect long-term returns. Developers, investors, property and asset managers, bankers, valuers and professionals entering the sector will find it a solid all-round grounding. You leave able to evaluate a development opportunity and plan both its delivery and its management.

About this course
This intensive program delivers practical and strategic knowledge in real estate development, investment, and property management within a structured five-day learning framework. It integrates real estate planning concepts with investment evaluation and operational management approaches to improve asset performance and long-term profitability. Participants will gain practical competencies in property development, financial analysis, project coordination, and real estate operations management.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from development initiatives, donor-funded programmes, nonprofit operations, and public sector environments, examining how real estate development, investment, and management is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for property and asset management, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
