U.S. real estate firm CBRE has bolstered its capital markets unit in Asia Pacific with two new hires.
Crystal Palar and Andrew Hunter join CBRE in Singapore as an executive managing director and director, respectively, for the APAC capital markets unit, according to a statement.
Palar will work closely with APAC head of capital markets Greg Hyland to provide strategic direction and facilities cross-border capital flows while Hunter will advise investors in Singapore and Southeast Asia on the execution of global investment and development strategies.
Palar was most recently with JLL where she spent nearly 18 years, last as an executive director for APAC capital markets.
Hunter joins from CBRE’s London office and previously also worked at a boutique private equity firm advising real estate investors in the U.K. and western Europe.
