 Property Development Industry Overview

The property development industry falls into the real estate category and it is indeed a very large
industry that has the potential to make entrepreneurs millionaire within a short period of time. Property
development industry is a many-sided business that covers all aspect of activities, ranging from
acquiring raw lands, to selling or renting or leasing of fully finished and furnished properties. In essence,
developers are responsible for turning ideas into real properties; i.e. they acquire lands, they finance
real estate deals, they engage in building projects and they sell, rent, lease and even manage properties
on behalf of their clients.

Beyond every reasonable doubt, one of the most profitable, creative and interesting aspect of the real
estate industry is property development. As a matter of fact, developers are major players when it
comes to determining the prices of properties. Although this type of business venture can be risky, but
in order to make it big in the trade as a property developer, you have got to just take calculated risks.

Just like all other investment vehicles, there are potential down sides that you need to look out for as a
property developer. One of the major risks in property development is a sudden down turn in the
economy. Property development could take a period of two to three years from conception to
completion, depending on the size of the project and the cash flow. As a matter of fact, some projects
could even take much longer than that. Because of the time frame involved in developing properties
from start to finish, loads of unanticipated things could crop up and it falls in the thick of property cum
economy downturn which is not good for the business considering the investment that has gone into
the project.

Another factor that is of major concerns and a threat to property development business generally could
be cost increase as a result of inflation, currency devaluation as well as economic challenges.
Unforeseen delays from the part of government agencies, litigation and also delays from contractors
could lead to substantial cost increase especially if the project is heavily dependent on bank loans. If
perhaps during this period there is a change in the supply and demand dynamics of the property sector,
the project could as well be affected negatively.

As a property developer, it is very important to be creative, to be able to use your ideas to meet the
rapidly changing needs of the society when it comes to properties; you should be able to convert a slum
into a beautiful city, if indeed you want to become a major player in the real estate industry.

Over and above, the property development sector is known to be a major contributor in the economy of
many nations of the world and the industry is notable for producing some of the richest men in the
world.

A Sample Property Development Business Plan Template – SWOT Analysis

In as much as property development business is a very lucrative business, there are loads of investors
and entrepreneurs who are interested in owning a business portfolio in the industry, so as such the
competition for available business deals will be much.

This is why we invested time and resources to prepare a killer property development marketing plan.
Prior to setting up Solorio’s® Property Development Company we employed the services of tested and
trusted business and HR consultants to help us conduct critical SWOT analysis for us.

We did this so as to know how to maximize our strength and opportunities and also to look for ways to
properly manage our weakness and the threat that we may likely face in the property development
industry as a newbie. Here is a summary from the result of the SWOT analysis that was conducted on
behalf of Solorio’s® Property Development Company;

 Strength:

Solorio’s® Property Development Company prides itself in the fact that the management team are core
professionals and experts in their own chosen fields and they are some of the best in New York City.
Despite the fact that we a new property development company, we can confidently say that we have a
strong financial strength to handle most of the deals that we will have to handle.
 Weakness:

Our weakness could not be farfetched; we are a new property development company, and there is the
possibility of clients to think twice before awarding us contracts. Most people would prefer to deal with
companies that have been in existence for a long period of time , as against dealing with a new company
that they are not sure will deliver as planned.

 Opportunities:

Our business concepts and our mission and vision put us at an advantage in the industry. We are set to
not only work with big money bags but also to work with smaller clients whose wish is just to have a
roof over their head. Furthermore, we are certain that the location of our business is going to bring
multiple business opportunities to us.

 Threat:

Some of the threats that we are likely going to face as a property development company are
unfavorable government policies, global economic downturn and other big money bags that are major
players in the property development industry. There is hardly anything we could do as it concerns this
threats, other than to be optimistic that things will continue to work for our good.

Property Development Business Plan – MARKET ANALYSIS

 Market Trends

It is no longer news that property development involves various stakeholders with various contributions
and responsibilities. In property development you have a synergy involving the property owner, the
financier, the property developer and a team of technical experts. The property owner may be an
individual or a group and could also be a corporate body. Before now, the interest of most owners is to
sell the property to any willing buyer and move on with their life. However, because of the profitability
of the business, there are land owners now who are willing to use their property as a leverage to have
an equity stake in the project.

This is a win-win for all the parties since the developer too will use the extra cash savings to accelerate
the completion of the project and also to handle other projects. It is obvious that loads of investors are
now very much interested in property development business, because it is one of the quickest means of
becoming a millionaire and as a matter of fact, it is rare to see a multi – millionaire who does not have a
business portfolio in the real estate industry.

One good thing about the property development industry is that it has room wide enough to
accommodate as many investors that wants to dive into the industry. We know that we can achieve our
business goals and targets in the property development industry in New York City and the United States,
which is why we have mapped out our own marketing and sales strategies.

 Target Market
Our target market cuts across people of different classes and people from all walks of life. We are
coming into the industry with a business concept that will enable us work with the highly placed people
in the country and at the same with the lowly placed people who are only interested in putting a roof
under their head. We are in business to make profits at the same we in business to give our customers
the opportunities to own their own properties at an affordable price.

Solorio’s® Property Development Company wants to be known as a company that has the interest of the
rich, the middle class and the poor in the United States of America. Below is a list of the people and

Sales Forecast

Prior to launching Solorio’s® Property Development Company we have serious interest in the industry
and we have been able to secure some properties that is still under construction. We are optimistic that
the projects / properties will be completed within the next two months and we have concluded plans to
put the property for lease.

They are office complexes and it is interesting to know that people are already queuing up to rent /
lease the available spaces. We are quite optimistic that we will meet out set target of generating enough
income / profits from the first month or operations.

We have critically studied the property market and we have examined our chances in the industry and
we have been able to come up with the following sales forecast. The sales projection is based on
information gathered on the field and some assumptions;

 Build / develop at least 2 office complex (3 story building each) within the first 12 months of
operation

 Manage a minimum of 5 properties for clients within the first 6 months of operations

 Sell a minimum of 20 hectares of land within the first 12 months of operation

 Develop at least one estate within the first 24 months of operations

 Provide advisory and consultancy services for a minimum of 1 client per month

 Handle a minimum of 12 building makeover projects within the first 12 months of operations

N.B: Please note that we could not put a specific amount to the projection because the prices may differ
for different services and for different clients. Part of our business strategy is to work within the budget
of our clients to deliver quality property / properties hence it will be difficult to project what we are
likely going to make from such deals. But the bottom line is that we are definitely going to make
reasonable profits from any business deal that we execute. The property market is structured in such a
way that property developers will always make profits from any deal they handle.

 Pricing

Part of business strategy is to ensure that we work within the budget of our clients to deliver excellent
properties to them. We are quite aware that there are major players in the property development
industry in the United Stated of America who are not interested in small business deals.

Although our prices may not be outrageously lower than what is obtained in the industry, but we are
hopeful that whatever price we bill our customer will be amongst the lowest they can get in the
industry. The fact that we are going to be billing our clients lower than what is obtainable in the industry
does not in any way affect the quality of our properties.

 Payment Options
Our payment policy is all inclusive because we are quite conscious that different people prefer different
payment options as it suits them but at the same time, we will not accept payment by cash because of
the volume of cash that will be involved in most of our transactions Here are the payment options that
we will make available to our clients;

 Payment by via bank transfer

 Payment via online bank transfer

 Payment via check

 Payment via bank draft

In view of the above, we have chosen banking platforms that will help us achieve our plans without any
itches.
