Seminar Overview
This two-hour professional-development programme considers how the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) could influence land use, real estate demand and land value. Participants will examine the link between policy, investment activity and property-market evidence and practice making evidence-based judgements through interactive questions and case discussions.
Seminar Outline
Module 1: Understanding The JS-SEZ
- Economic-zone purpose and the JS-SEZ context
- Johor–Singapore complementarity
- Policy announcements versus market value
- Expected outcome: Participants can describe the JS-SEZ and distinguish possible economic opportunities from demonstrable property value changes.
Module 2: Key Drivers of Land Value
- Investment conversion and occupier demand
- Transport access and infrastructure readiness
- Land title, planning controls and site conditions
- Asking prices, comparable and market sentiment
- Expected outcome: Participants can explain the main value drivers and prepare a practical verification checklist for a site in a developing corridor.
Module 3: Valuation Perspectives
- Market value and evidence selection
- Highest and best use (HBU)
- Comparison, income and residual approaches
- Sensitivity, uncertainty and professional judgement
- Expected outcome: Participants can identify a defensible method, question unsupported adjustments and recognize limitations in valuation assumptions.
Module 4: Practical Case Studies
Participants work in groups. Each group receives a brief, hypothetical Johor property scenario.
- Case A Tanjung Pelepas: Industrial/logistics land; assess port connectivity, heavy-vehicle access, permitted use, utilities and occupier demand.
- Case B Kulai–Sedenak: Technology-oriented industrial land; assess power and water capacity, approvals, development feasibility and user commitments.
- Case C Johor Bahru: Commercial redevelopment; assess access, market absorption, competing stock, rental evidence and redevelopment timing.
- Expected group deliverable: A concise oral recommendation supported by two or three key points of evidence and at least one material risk. Scenarios are learning examples, not live valuation advice.
Module 5: Professional Reflection & Learning Outcomes
- Practical Insights – Discussion on JS-SEZ opportunities, valuation evidence, market uncertainties and professional advice.
- Reflection and Learning Outcomes – Key takeaways and areas for improvement in future professional practice.
