About Us The Commercial Advisory is Asia Pacific’s leading experts in connecting capital with commercial real estate, headquartered in Singapore. Our business brings together property owners, developers, investors and capital partners across Australia, Asia and global markets. We work across investment sales, acquisitions, capital placement, joint ventures and strategic real estate advisory, with a particular focus on the Living and Hospitality sectors.

Sourcing capital and connecting it with the right deal is central to our business. We build direct relationships with family offices, institutional investors and private capital partners. We learn their investment requirements, then introduce opportunities that match their objectives, risk appetite and return expectations.

Our key sectors include

- Hotels and hospitality
- Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA)
- Build-to-Rent (BTR)
- Multifamily
- Co-living and other Living sector investments
- Selected large-scale commercial and mixed-use opportunities

We work with institutional investors, private equity, family offices, sovereign capital, pension funds, superannuation funds, developers, operators, lenders and high-net-worth investors seeking exposure to these sectors.

The Opportunity The role comes with significant autonomy, existing deal flow, access to our global investor network through our Singapore head office, and potential equity participation in the Australian business.

The role has two equally important priorities: originating quality real estate opportunities, and sourcing the capital to execute them.

You will identify active investors, understand their mandates and build a network of capital partners for acquisitions, developments, joint ventures and co-investments.

The role goes beyond traditional property agency. You will work across investment sales, acquisitions, capital placement, joint ventures and strategic real estate advisory. You will connect Australian property owners and developers with institutional investors, private capital, family offices, lenders and other funding partners, both in Australia and offshore.

You will develop your own client and investor relationships and work closely with our Singapore team, our international network and our active mandates. Success will depend on your ability to source opportunities, source capital and bring the right parties together to complete transactions.

Our Platform

Our international network gives direct access to institutional investors, private equity and real estate funds, family offices, sovereign and pension capital, developers, property owners, banks, private credit providers, hotel owners, operators and international strategic investors.

From Sydney, you will be the local link between Australian opportunities and our cross-border capital network. Through our Singapore head office, Australian assets can be introduced directly to investors in Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, the Middle East, Europe and North America. Australian investors also gain access to opportunities across APAC and beyond.

We currently have an active pipeline of transactions and capital mandates in Australia and the wider APAC region.
