With a wealth of accessible and fun activities right at their doorstep, Marina Gardens Lane residents are sure to enjoy a unique living experience in the heart of Singapore.

Emily Relf has been appointed head of living sectors, Asia Pacific for Knight Frank. Based in Singapore, Relf will be responsible for the consultancy’s expansion in the growing sector, with her role covering outbound capital from the region into the US, UK and Europe.

Knight Frank has taken a bold step to reflect the growing investor interest in the living sectors by creating a new role, appointing Emily Relf as their head in Asia Pacific. Neil Brookes, Global Head of Capital Markets, expressed optimism stating “Emily’s deep understanding will be invaluable as we embark on this exciting stage of our expansion.”

Relf will not only lead the consultancy’s growth in the sector but will also focus on strengthening Knight Frank’s partnership with US-based commercial real estate company, Berkadia. In addition, she will be working in tandem with Knight Frank’s team in Australia to explore new opportunities, particularly in the Australian Built-To-Rent (BTR) market.

The appointment of Relf in this new role was part of the company’s bid to facilitate outbound capital from within the region to the US, UK, and Europe. Moreover, Knight Frank seeks to leverage Relf’s expertise to grow a network of local partners as they tackle the current demand on the Australian BTR space.

The living sectors’ market is seen as a key pillar of the Knight Frank’s growth and this appointment is set to capitalize on the evolution of the sector, making it a more mature market space. As Relf’s expertise is further harnessed to facilitate growth and respond to current market demands, the company shows a commitment to elevating the living sectors market space and investing in its potential.
