The global property advisor has formed a new team has launched a dedicated Transactions Team within its Capital Market business in Asia, and will specialize in major asset sales, specialist sectors and capital partnering.
Drawing from an existing pool of Knight Frank staff, the team will form a core part of the firm’s regional service line and will work closely with Knight Frank’s occupier services and commercial agency team, the firm said in an announcement on Thursday.
Members of the team, which is led by Neil Brookes, Knight Frank's Asia Pacific head of capital markets, will be based in key gateway cities.
Its members include Danny Zheng (Chinese Mainland), Daniel Ding (Singapore), Emily Relf (Asia Pacific), Jack Choi (South Korea), James Buckley (Malaysia), Paul Hart (Greater China/Hong Kong) and Tushar Rane (India).
Regional Opportunities
Knight Frank said the move would help the firm strengthen its cross-border transaction capabilities, particularly around major asset sales, particularly as Covid-19 accelerates capital investment into near neighbors.
«With travel restrictions in place, many investors are focusing on opportunities within the region – having access to a connected group with local expertise enables us to meet each client’s unique investment needs,» Brooks said in the announcement.
