Episode Summary:

With over 23 years of experience in real estate across USA, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, industry luminary Simon drives the growth of assets under management (AUM) and funds under management (FUM) for CapitaLand Investment‘s private equity real estate business. 

Simon has a lot to say as he looks back over the last 20 years: how have Asian cities transformed over time, what’s surprised him, his personal highlights and what will be the evolution of the industry going forward. 

For Simon, real estate is all about people, and about communities. The sector continues to go through transformational change which he believes brings many opportunities. The last two years have been no exception and, in fact, the industry has evolved in becoming more community-driven with more attention on shopping behavior, digitization, wellness and arts, and culture.
