Q1. What does GAR Global Investments Pte Ltd actually do?:

GAR Global Investments is an investment holding and diversified real estate platform headquartered in Singapore. We deliver four core capabilities: commercial and residential leasing, real estate project consultancy, property acquisition and development support, and structured investment participation in real estate-linked opportunities. Every mandate is governed by disciplined underwriting, transparent reporting, and Singapore regulatory alignment.

Q2. Who are your typical clients?

We work primarily with multinational corporates establishing or expanding regional headquarters in Singapore, family offices and private investment platforms allocating to real estate, professional services firms managing portfolio occupancy, and property owners requiring repositioning or asset-management support. Our smallest engagements are single-site leasing mandates; our largest are multi-asset advisory programmes.

Q3. What kind of properties do you cover?:

Across Singapore we cover Grade-A and Grade-B office, retail, business park, industrial-adjacent, residential (both private and serviced), and mixed-use schemes. We do not act on segments where we lack genuine depth — and we will say so upfront rather than over-promise.

Q4. How do you charge for your services?:

Fees depend on scope, complexity, and risk allocation. Leasing mandates are typically commission-based and aligned with market norms. Consultancy and asset-management mandates are scoped on a fixed-fee, retainer, or success-fee basis depending on deliverables. Every engagement starts with a written scope and a transparent fee schedule — no hidden mark-ups, no opaque referral fees.

Q5. Do you only work on Singapore real estate?

Singapore is our primary operating jurisdiction and the core of our platform. We support cross-border investors and corporate clients on inbound activity into Singapore, and we coordinate with trusted partners across Asia–Pacific where a mandate has a regional dimension. We do not pretend to operate as a primary advisor in markets where we do not have on-the-ground capability.

Q6. How long does a typical leasing mandate take?

A simple office leasing mandate (≤10,000 sq ft) typically runs 6–10 weeks from kick-off to signed lease, depending on shortlist size, landlord negotiations, and approval cycles. Larger Grade-A mandates or regional HQ relocations typically run 12–20 weeks. Fit-out and occupancy then follow as a separate workstream.
