RPIC – Asset Management (2025)

Real estate asset management is a complex and diverse function that has evolved over the past few decades to emerge as an integral area of practice within the world of commercial real estate. There are many approaches, definitions and models of asset management, and the skills required of and functions performed by an asset manager depend on several variables of a portfolio, including: the size and scale of an organization, the number and type of assets under management, the business goals of the owners(e.g. current income vs. capital gain), as well as the nature of the mandate (internal or outsourced to a third party).

Asset management continues to expand in order to help deal with the numerous and varied issues between owners, consultants, property managers, accountants, tenants, capital markets and regulatory authorities. This course will feature case studies and group exercises. Attendees will be encouraged to participate in moderated class discussions.
