REAL ESTATE ECOSYSTEM
Straits Trading’s real estate ecosystem, anchored by its
investments in the various real-estate-related businesses, is
integral to its real estate strategy. This ecosystem leverages
on Straits Trading’s wide business networks for deal flow
and to access investment opportunities that create value. As
the platforms interact, they generate additional streams of
fee income and create avenues for capital to be allocated
to investments with higher returns, whether it is direct
investments in real estate, seeding and sponsoring real
estate funds or investing in real estate securities.
The investments by Straits Real Estate in ARA Harmony
Fund III and SDF I, both managed by ARA, also illustrate how
Straits Trading has been able to leverage off the collective
competencies of its various real estate related businesses
to tap a wide spectrum of real estate related opportunities
that was not possible before. As these platforms continue to
develop and evolve, they will further buttress the real estate
ecosystem and reinforce its value.
