SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - There is a new boutique real estate firm in town. Named The Land Managers Holdings, it is founded by Andy Lim, group CEO of JL Family Office (JLFO).
The Land Managers Holdings will have an initial capital commitment of $250 million to invest in real estate opportunities in gateway cities across asset classes. Its maiden acquisition in August involved a 5,400 sq ft shophouse at 65 Club Street for $15.7 million.
Completed in November, the shophouse will be the new headquarters for both The Land Managers and JLFO.
Lim says that despite the global macroeconomic environment where low cost of capital and unprecedented level of government stimulus are propping up asset values, he believes there are still pockets of investment opportunities of between $20 million and $50 million.
