Developers Urged to Sharpen Skills as Pressures Mount

A full development lifecycle in one day
The masterclass compresses the property development journey into a single intensive day. Attendees will step through the fundamentals of site selection, feasibilities, planning, construction and funding—each presented by leading practitioners who work at the coalface of the industry.
Urbis, one of Australia’s most recognised planning and advisory consultancies, will unpack how to identify and assess opportunities in today’s market, and how demographic, economic and planning shifts are shaping project feasibility.
Stamford Capital, a specialist real estate financier with more than $15 billion in transactions arranged, will provide clarity on funding markets, capital structures and what lenders and investors are looking for right now.
Gadens, a national law firm with deep expertise in property and development, will guide attendees through the legal and contractual risks that can make or break a project.
Mitchell Brandtman, one of the country’s leading construction cost consultancies, will address the cost pressures and procurement strategies reshaping project delivery.
Lessons from the leaders
The day concludes with a fireside conversation between Adam Di Marco, founder and chief executive of The Urban Developer, and one of the city’s most accomplished developers. Expect an unfiltered discussion on how they’ve navigated cycles, managed risk, identified opportunities and built a lasting career.
Why now?
With rising construction costs, tighter funding conditions and planning uncertainty, the development landscape is testing even the most experienced operators. The masterclass offers developers the frameworks and insights needed to move forward with confidence.
