Investing in Property Development

An investment strategy with attractive risk-adjusted returns that is suitable for any investor wanting to grow their wealth and supplement income.

Investing in property development is an alternative to traditional property investing that offers superior returns

Investing in a property development project allows an investor to gain exposure to that project, and the property market, without taking on the full burden of property ownership themselves. Property is an asset class that has performed exceptionally well over the last 40 years, and it is stable and not susceptible to rapid market fluctuations. However, buying an investment property comes with responsibilities and burdens that do not suit every investor and their needs. Investing a property development instead provides investors the best of both worlds—this is what we offer.

What is property development?

Property development, also known as real estate development, is a business strategy that encompasses a variety of practices designed to increase the value of a property so that it can be resold for a profit. On a smaller scale, this may include activities such as the renovation and resale of pre-existing properties (colloquially known as ‘flipping houses’). On a larger scale, this includes activities such as converting an established dwelling into multiple smaller dwellings or building on unused land.

Unlike a buy-and-hold strategy, which relies on market forces exclusively to generate a profit, property developers generate a profit by converting land (or an existing building) into a new property (or properties)—with a higher price.

Long Term Investment in Property Development

Capital Growth over 10 Years (5 sequential investments)

The table above forecasts capital growth based on the following assumptions derived from our investment product averages:

An initial sum of $500,000 is invested.
At the end of an investment, all capital plus returns are reinvested.
The return of each investment is 35% net.
The term of each investment is 2 years.
Tax is not accounted for.

Based on these assumptions, an initial investment of $500,000 will grow to $2,242,000 in ten years, an increase of 348%.
