A corporate client was looking to tap into the Asian public markets for investment in the U.S. real estate market and came to us because of our top-tier public REIT experience.

Responsively coordinating tasks, negotiations and schedules in North America and Asia, we put the real estate acquisitions and U.S. structure in place, factoring in complex tax-efficiency considerations and listing on the Singapore stock exchange, with close to $1 billion at stake.
