Cityscape Asia 2010, the world’s largest B2B real estate investment and development exhibition and conference event, will be held at Suntec Singapore from May 18-20, 2010.
Event organizer, Cityscape, said that the global property world is gradually shifting its attention to Asia to unveil new opportunities in the regional investment landscape, as economies are showing signs of recovery.
Themed "Asian Real Estate Comes of Age," this annual networking exhibition and conference event will provide participants with information, contacts and insights needed to capitalize on the latest opportunities in this growing institutionalized market.
Top deal-makers from leading developers, institutional investors, banks and investment authorities, as well as officials from prominent private equity funds and investment advisory firms will gather at Cityscape Asia to discuss key issues and investment opportunities.
Mr. Graham Wood, Group Exhibition Director of Cityscape, said: “There are currently few strategic platforms where industry professionals, leaders, policy makers and property developers can converge to discuss sentiment, opportunities and challenges in an integrated manner, which makes Cityscape Asia such an integral part of the calendar for real estate players.”
The key highlight of this year’s Cityscape Asia event is the new architecture stream that will focus on trends in urban design and sustainable communities.
“Many real estate players are taking a greater interest in studying the real cost and economics of designing and developing green and sustainable projects. The speakers at Cityscape Asia will share first-hand experience and proven strategies on how to capitalize on the growing demand for green and sustainable design in Asia,” said Mr. Ashvinkumar s/o Kantilal, President of the Singapore Institute of Architects.
Other highlights of the event include attracting and retaining Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Asia; redefining the role of private equity in driving Asia’s real estate recovery; country-specific macro-economic assessment and market updates; development and growth of Asian REITs; China focus sessions; and sector clinics: Hospitality, Residential, Retail and Offices.
The event is organized with the assistance of an advisory board, consisting of industry professionals and experts such as Cushman & Wakefield Managing Director Donald Han, Vinacapital CEO Don Lam, Doran Capital Partners Chairman and Principal Partner Pietro A. Doran, Pacific Star Pte Ltd President Benett Theseira and Axis REIT Managers Bhd CEO and Executive Director George Stewart LaBrooy.
Cityscape Asia is an extension of the phenomenally successful Cityscape Dubai, organized by IIR Middle East.
