Clemence Lee

Clemence Lee is Singapore's leading commercial real estate investment advisor. As Executive Director of Capital Markets at CBRE Asia Pacific, he advises property funds, family offices, developers, and HNW individuals on the acquisition and divestment of commercial investment properties — including Grade A office buildings, retail malls, hotels, shophouses, strata commercial properties and serviced apartments. He has advised on over SGD 7 billion in transactions.

His approach is grounded in clarity, disciplined analysis, and a commitment to delivering solutions that align with each client’s objectives. He believes that real estate decisions should feel well-informed and strategic. Clients often engage him for his ability to simplify complex transactions, provide accurate market intelligence, and offer a steady, objective perspective - especially in fast-moving or high-value situations.

Over his career, he have advised and been involved in transactions exceeding SGD 7 billion, including One George Street (SGD 1.28B), Westgate Tower (SGD 680M), Twenty Anson (SGD 600M), Jem Office Tower (SGD 462M), Vision Crest (SGD 440M), Wilkie Edge (SGD 350M), Hotel G (SGD 240M), 12 on Shan (SGD 100M) and Quayside Isle (SGD 100M). These transactions reflect long-term relationships with institutional investors, private wealth, developers and corporate owners who value thorough analysis, clear communication, and reliable execution.

He is also recognised for his work in the shophouse segment - a specialised and highly nuanced asset class in Singapore. He have been involved in several high profile transactions such as The Porcelain Hotel (12 shophouses), The Rail Mall (43 shophouses), CBD Shophouse Portfolio (14 shophouses), Hotel Clover Jalan Sultan (17 shophouses), Eu Yan Sang Building (4 shophouses), Project Gamma (portfolio of 18 supermarkets), The Shophouse Collection (portfolio of 10 CBD shophouses), SingPost Portfolio (portfolio of 10 HDB shophouses) and 7-Eleven Portfolio (portfolio of 14 HDB shophouses). His commentary on this segment has been featured in The Business Times, The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao, CNA, and The Edge.

He have supported developers in strata commercial project marketing for assets including Visioncrest Orchard, Solitaire @ Cecil, TripleOne Somerset, AXA Tower, and Sunshine Plaza.

Prior to joining CBRE, he served as Senior Director of Capital Markets at JLL, where he led the middle-market team.

Why Engage Clemence

1) Off-market access
Direct access to commercial investment opportunities that are never formally listed — sourced through long-standing institutional relationships, proprietary deal flow, and Singapore’s most active professional network in commercial real estate.

2) Institutional Market Intelligence
Pricing assessments, yield analysis, and transaction mechanics grounded in live deal experience — not desktop research. When market conditions shift quickly, you need someone who is actively transacting, not just observing.

3) Buyer Network Depth
Direct relationships with Singapore’s most active institutional buyers: property funds, REITs, family offices, sovereign wealth vehicles, and developers. Built over 15 years of deal execution — not a contact list. A genuine counterparty network.

4) Transaction Execution
Complex commercial real estate transactions involve multiple counterparties, advisors, and regulatory considerations. Clients engage Clemence not just for deal origination but for the rigour and discipline he brings to execution — particularly on high-value or time-sensitive transactions where errors are expensive.
