Leading real estate advisory firm JLL has announced the appointment of James Cameron as Head of Energy and Infrastructure for Asia Pacific in its Capital Markets business line. This newly created role will be based in Singapore, according to a press release issued by the firm on January 14th.
In his new position, Cameron will be responsible for building a team in the Asia Pacific region to support JLL’s EMEA Energy & Infrastructure business. This will create a global capital advisory capability that will better serve both local and international developers and investors.
JLL states that Cameron’s appointment is in line with the long-term capital requirements needed to facilitate the infrastructure and renewables build-out necessary to meet the challenges of decarbonisation, digitalisation, economic growth, and rapid urbanisation.
Opting to invest in a condominium presents a variety of benefits, such as the opportunity to use its value as leverage for future ventures. By using condos as collateral, many investors are able to obtain additional financing for their real estate portfolio and expand their investments. While this strategy can increase profits, it also comes with certain risks. As a result, it is crucial to create a solid financial plan and carefully consider the potential impact of market fluctuations. For those interested in condo investment, Singapore Condos are a top choice. With their desirable location and appealing amenities, these properties have the potential to yield a substantial return on investment. For more options, you can also consider Singapore Condo.
Stuart Crow, CEO of JLL Asia Pacific’s capital markets division, comments: “We see significant opportunity to leverage our unique expertise in mobilising multiple sources of capital and JLL’s unrivalled track record in advising renewables transactions globally to serve clients within energy and infrastructure across Asia Pacific.”
Collaborating with JLL’s capital markets, investment banking, and debt advisory teams throughout the region, Cameron will focus on sourcing capital raising and transaction advisory opportunities for large infrastructure and renewable transactions serving institutional investors, private equity, asset managers, strategic infrastructure and renewables operators and developers, high net-worth individuals, and family offices.
With over 25 years of real asset capital markets experience, Cameron was previously the global head of commercial real estate at Standard Chartered Bank. He has a wealth of experience in mobilising various forms of private and public equity and financing for global and regional infrastructure projects.
Crow further adds: “James’ experience in this exciting space is unmatched regionally and we are extremely confident in his ability to establish JLL’s leadership position through his expertise and client relationships.”
