Why Engage Clemence
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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.

What types of commercial property transactions does Clemence Lee advise
Clemence advises on the full spectrum of commercial investment property in Singapore: Grade A offices, retail malls, hospitality assets, conservation shophouses and strata commercial properties. He works on both buy-side and sell-side mandates, from SGD 10 million single-asset transactions to SGD 1.28 billion institutional deals. His advisory scope covers market analysis, valuation, transaction strategy, negotiation, and execution.
Who does Clemence Lee typically work with?
Clemence works primarily with institutional investors, property funds, family offices, Ultra-High-Net-Worth individuals (UHNWIs), property developers, and corporate real estate owners.
His clients value disciplined analysis, accurate market intelligence, and reliable execution — particularly on complex or high-value transactions. He has long-standing repeat relationships with many of Singapore’s most active commercial real estate investors.
What is the minimum deal size Clemence Lee advises on?
Clemence typically advises on commercial investment property transactions of S$10 million and above. His core market is mid-to-large institutional transactions (S$50 million to S$1.3 billion). For initial consultations — including market soundings, valuation perspectives, and investment strategy discussions — there is no minimum deal size.
Does Clemence advise overseas investors on Singapore commercial property?
Yes. A significant portion of Clemence’s clients are based outside Singapore — family offices and high-net-worth individuals from Indonesia, China, Malaysia, and the Middle East who are evaluating or actively acquiring Singapore commercial property. He provides both market orientation for investors approaching Singapore for the first time and specific transaction advisory for those already active in the market.
