LaSalle Investment Management Asia Pte Ltd
LaSalle Investment Management Asia Pte Ltd was established in 1999 as the Singapore-based regional headquarters for LaSalle Investment Management, itself a global real estate advisory and investment firm with over $90B in assets under management worldwide (per the firm, 2023). Mark Gabbay has served as CEO of LaSalle's Asia Pacific operations since 2015, overseeing investment teams across offices that include Singapore, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Sydney. The regional entity focuses on real estate private equity, debt, and public securities across Asia Pacific. The firm executes strategies across core, core-plus, value-add, and opportunistic risk profiles, deploying capital in office, retail, industrial, logistics, and residential sectors. Notable investments include the acquisition of the Marina Bay Financial Centre portfolio in Singapore and joint ventures in Japanese logistics properties. The firm operates across Singapore, Japan, China, Australia, and South Korea. LaSalle Asia manages capital on behalf of institutional investors, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance companies. The global platform employs over 1,300 professionals, though regional headcount is not disclosed. The firm serves as a fund manager through its LaSalle Asia Opportunity Funds series. In January 2024, LaSalle Investment Management appointed a new head of Asia Pacific capital markets, reflecting continued regional expansion (per PERE, January 2024). LaSalle's structural differentiator lies in its position as a subsidiary of Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), the global real estate services firm. This ownership provides access to JLL's research, transaction, and property management platforms — a sourcing and execution advantage unavailable to standalone real estate managers.
